I wish I could say as many good things about this apartment, as I can say about the host- Renata. She is awesome! However, Let's start with the Extra charge for electricity, on top of a hefty nightly price. Then the most important requirement for me (working from home), for which I asked in advance - internet - was slow to non-existent. If you plan on working from home or streaming movies - forget about it! Also, it's impossible to sleep at night, unless you close the window. But in that case you'll have to use the AC and pay a lot extra. The dilemma between suffocating and paying a lot extra was real. Overall - this is an old/outdated apartment - wear is present everywhere. The bathroom shower is so small that even a tiny person like me managed to hit each elbow at least once while taking a shower. There is No option to watch Netflix or other English streaming applications. TV can not be connected to a computer and only has a basic cable with a few channels, all in Portuguese.
while the apartment has a nice potential, it is quite large and sunny, I wouldn't stay there again for the life of me.
