Considering I stayed in this apartment for close to five (5) nights, I think it's only fair to post a full review.
First off, the pictures Cesar provided on this website closely match the landscape of the unit. I stayed there with my girlfriend and it was more than enough room for the both of us. There is a moderate sized table next to the window overlooking the street to share breakfast and a small one (1) person coffee table attached to the kitchen. We did buy breakfast and lunch products which required using the oven and had no problem with that. The kitchen is efficiently stocked with everything you should need to cook a meal.
The best part of this place is the location. Once you walk out of the gate, there is a sushi and restaurant/bar just a few steps away with additional restaurants no more than a block distance. Further, you are just two blocks from the beach which was extremely convenient.
The downside of this apartment was the cleanliness. We quickly noticed once we got into bed that The bottom sheet was scattered with remnants of sand from the beach. Also, some of the dishes were dirty and a large hair ball was near the toilet. Cesar also mentions that a hairdryer was available but it was not in the apartment. Finally; I tried using the iron but it was broken.
My girlfriend is brasilian so she did all the communicating with Cesar once we arrived. He was always quick to respond and willing to help us with any info we desired. However, the final day we reached out to Cesar to inform him that a mirror was accidentally broken. I shut the door and the vibration from closing it made this old/metallic mirror to slip and fall which cracked the glass.
I felt it was only moral to mention this before we leave and was intending to leave $100 reais to replace the glass if desired. However, once we told him this, Cesar sent us a picture of a luxury $550 reais mirror that he insisted was the one that was broken. It was clear that he was trying to pull a "fast one", so rather than arguing, I told him to reach out to air bnb and file a claim if he pleases.
It should be noted, Cesar does not require a security deposit which can be useful for incidents like this. Thus, be cautious and aware because guests of air bnb are not liable for small incidents like broken glass.
Overall, I would say that this is a decent apartment for the price. We happen to have an unfortunate incident that was blown out of proportion. I do think Cesar has good intentions and I would recommend this apartment to a friend.
