- Location is excellent but lacking access to convenient public transportation. Taxi is the only practical alternative.
- Single room in apartment shared with live-in owner
- Bed is a sofa bed hence has no spring box, kind of hard
- Bathroom is small with no soap nor shampoo nor hooks to hang anything on
- Cleaning fee is unacceptable for a 1-room rental in Brazil (33.58 €)
Note that the apartment is marginal when it comes to cleanliness and convenience:
There is no garbage pail in the kitchen, barely any room in the fridge, and I once stepped in dog pee by the washing machine
Note that at current official minimum wage the cleaning fee corresponds to 3.5 days of work. That is a lot of cleaning!
- Between rental + cleaning and service fees I paid 153.68 € for 4 nights at 24.34 €
In other words I paid a whopping 57.85% over the nominal rental for both fees combined
I know I was briefly presented with the detailed bill at reservation time but one gets fixated on the night rate (they know!)
And frankly I would not have flinched at fee costs if my experience had been better
- On the other hand I arrived early the 1st day and left at the end of my checkout day, and Edoardo was very accomodating with this
