I rented the apt for my mother but went there with her and checked everything. Fagner was kind and responded quickly to the same day check-in that we needed. It took 3 hours from the moment I booked til he arranged the apartment for us.
It's a small and humble apartment. When you take a shower the whole bathroom gets wet since there is no curtain. There is no kitchen, only a small space with an improvised gas "stove" that it's good enough for heating water or boiling eggs but not for real cooking. The bed is good. The drape rail was broken so there was no way to open the curtains which made the apartment really dark. The right panel of the window didn't open. Fagner only warned about those problems after the booking was made. It should've been on the ad. The builiding is old and has many, many apartments and the porters let any person get in without checking (that's really unsafe). The entrance of the building is under construction and doesn't look very good.
The location is great with many bus lines and very close to the subway.
One day before checkout Fagner sent a message saying we could clean the apartment ourselves or pay 150 reais for a cleaning service. That's not in the ad even though he told me it was written in the House Rules section. It was not. The only thing stated in house rules was that a manual would be sent to us after booking. After booking he did send us the house rules but there was nothing about cleaning. That was the negative part of the rental. If he wants to charge for cleaning it should be in the ad (and he shouldn't tell people that it's there if it's not). At checkout my mother had to wait for him to give back the keys (he was 30 minutes late). Guests shouldn't have to wait at checkout. I recommend that Fagner finds another solution (like letting guests leave the keys with the same neighbor we got the keys in the first place).
Overall you get what you pay for. It's a really cheap rental so I recommend it if you're just planning to sleep and have easy access to public transportation. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a comfortable well furnished apartment to relax.
