We rate the apartment 5 Stars for its location, updated interior, spaciousness, and cleanliness. The attention and service provided by our hosts: Joana and Guilherme were exemplary; the best. They took care of all our needs with a smile. While the apartment has been nicely updated and tastefully appointed, the building’s common areas, however, has been neglected by its property manager. The place looks old and dingy, particularly the decrepit and antiquated steel elevator. It rarely works and is a serious accident waiting to happen; we unexpectedly stopped between floors and it was frightening.
We are reasonably fit seniors but still a challenge when climbing the stairs leading to the fifth floor (77 steps) apartment as they are narrow and tight. Missing lights and loose handrails in some sections makes the climb even more hazardous. Disappointed as we had expected that Aibnb Plus would have also inspected and approved the building’s condition and facilities.
