The view and location were amazing! However the apartment needs some modernization to be worth the price I paid. A few drawbacks was outdated furniture and decoration, small rooms, non-air conditioned living room, and some difficulties getting the hot water to work. Guilherme was a great host—particularly responsive and helpful when I locked myself out. He even had a fan installed in the living room when I asked about the lack of air conditioning. The beautiful view made up for nearly all the signs of age in the apartment. More comfortable patio furniture would have made it even better.
