The value for money and the location were both fantastic. The host is very friendly as well.

However, a few things to note:
1. The host only speaks Portuguese.
2. There is no AC and it gets VERY hot as the apt is on the tenth floor, it was really hard to sleep (I was there in April) at night as the heat rises and it was almost like a sauna.
3. The host is not very responsive. The internet went down the first day and I emailed her twice but she never responded (the internet was down the entire time). Then I reached out about coordinating getting the key back to her and I still didn't hear from her. I had no contact from her after the first day when I arrived.
4. For cold water in the shower, make sure you have the shower set at "desligue".....this is very important as it gets very hot and a cold shower feels great!
5. There are pretty much no plugs to charge electrical appliances (iphones, etc).
