The location of this apartment is perfect. Very close to the beach. Everything you need is within a block.
The apartment is quiet and stayed relatively cool (we used the fan most of the time rather than air conditioner) .
The small rooftop pool was out of order when we were there - this was too bad as we were looking forward to using it.
The doorman and reception staff were pleasant- they did not speak English and we don't speak Portuguese. However were had no trouble getting what we needed.
We never met the host, however she responded very quickly to our messages.
We would definitely stay here again!
