The apartment was superficially clean and found a dead cockroach at the front in one of the kitchen cupboards. I stayed in the apartment for 30 nights and found it difficult to communicate with Paulo who was dismissive. The only things I asked were to have an ironing board (an iron was provided but no ironing board) since I was there for work and needed to iron shirts, and a flat sheet since no sheet was provided and the temperatures were still very high and was hot to sleep with a quilt. This was met with alot of resistance and unnecessary comments, till finally this was accepted and I received the items almost two weeks into my stay.
