I have two sides of this review:
1) The house was good - location and home turned up as expected. It was clean and there was room for 8 people.
2) I would not recommend this location to a family, specifically those with younger members. It is right in the middle of the Bairro Alto neighborhood, which by day is quite nice, but by night, can get a little rough. There's a little bit of everything going on. On the actual stay, the communication was not great throughout. Check-in was simple, but not during. Fans are NOT provided in each room, so you must rely on the windows at night to keep cool. The surrounding area is loud at night, so you have to make a choice - loud or hot while you try to sleep.
