Mariana ‘s listing is really in a great location, just a short walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants in grocery stores nearby. Mariana was a very kind & helpful hostess and we were grateful for that. Unfortunately the apartment was incredibly dirty when we arrived, there was months of accumulated grime and dirt, especially in the bathroom, kitchen & dishes, & then the air conditioning units & fan, to the point that our daughters who have asthma we’re having a really hard time breathing in the apartment. Thankfully, Mariana was very responsive & helpful. She had her cleaner come the next day, & while that helped, it was still unlivable for us. Loud ongoing construction, too. We were grateful that Mariana was able to end our stay early & refund us without any trouble. We had planned to stay here for our entire two weeks in Brazil, & would have loved to for the beach and convenience but we ended up searching separately instead. With a very deep clean there’d be potential again.
