Everything that can be said has already been said in the other reviews. we had a great stay. The air conditioning has definitely been fixed and the beds were all very comfy (more on the firm side, but we prefer it that way). The "noise" in the street is nothing compared to being on a Bairro Alto Street with bars and restaurants. It is actually relatively quite quiet. One thing (which is not a biggee), is that the main bedroom door does not close shut due to thick paint and probably old wood becoming disjointed. So if there are flies (or a lecherous co-traveler) in the living room area (from opening the windows), you can't make sure the bedroom door is firmly shut. But otherwise, couldn't have been happier with our stay (even accommodated a late check out request).
