This is a beautiful Airbnb in a very central area. However, due to the location, we found the apartment to be very noisy. We found it especially difficult because it is summer and there was no air conditioning which meant that we had to either keep the windows open at night, which made it difficult to sleep because of the lively neighborhood noise until early hours of the morning, or we had to close the windows which was very hot. We also didn't feel comfortable keeping the window in the bedroom open for safety reasons, as it is close to street level. This issue is uncontrollable by the Airbnb host, but thought it was worth noting for those who are looking for a good night's sleep. It would probably not bother someone who is looking to party or be out until the early hours of the morning.
We were not able to meet the host but appreciated Sérgio letting us drop our luggage off early. We had a small issue checking-in and getting our keys, as there was some sort of miscommunication, but Sérgio was very kind and apologetic. He was also very good at responding to questions. It would be very helpful to have a house manual to go over things like the wifi password, how to use the doors, where to leave the key. We did not get a tour of the house, as the person who let us in did not speak any English and seemed confused as to why we were there, so we often felt like we were figuring stuff out as we went, which was not a huge deal.
Overall, this is a very beautiful apartment in a great location. It wasn't the best fit for what we were looking for but would be great for most people who don't mind noise and are just looking for a nice space without the amenities (A/C, shampoo, etc).
