The unit is slightly better than expected and the location is convenient to a lot of nice places. So overallmy wife and I enjoyed our stay. I do have 2 complaints, 1 minor and 1 major.
minor complaint: the washer and dryer wasn't working. this is one of the reasons we got the unit in the first place instead of a hotel, so that was annoying. the reason I didn't call to have it fixed however was because we didn't want to deal with the host (for reasons listed below).
major complaint: this place lists cristovao as the host and he seems like a nice enough guy, but he's got some other people working with him to manage the place. Okay, fine. but that other person was managing other properties and made us wait 20 minutes outside at night with our luggage after a 9 hour flight on a street corner next to a garbage bin because she had other houses to deal with. our flight was delayed but that was known before we took off. the fact is she just seemed a little rude to us (we asked to go get dinner since she would be delayed and she said we had to wait because she had another house to deal with after us and couldn't accomodate us) and it does not make you feel good to wait at night just because she has to go take care of another customer. anyway, maybe she is just overworked managing all of these places but this is why we didn't ask her to fix the washer and dryer while we were there - we didn't feel like seeing her again.
all in all, once the initial check-in was over with my wife and I did enjoy the unit (even with the malfunctioning washer dryer) and had a great trip. probably if we were one of her first customers of the day it would have been better. that's not how it should be, but it is what it is.
