The best thing about this apartment was the help from the owner's associate, who was super helpful and got things sorted out always as soon as possible. As for the apartment itself, it is how it looks in the photos: clean and really not too small. However, on a really busy street. If you are not a heavy sleeper, bring ear plugs! Also, in the evenings the area seemed a little seedy - but that could be because we were coming from Switzerland. We booked for a week but ended up going to Ilha Grande for 4 nights, paid for both accomodations but the island was so much more relaxing than the city.
