The apartment is very clean, has all the necessary equipment including Nespresso type of coffee machine (there were pods available), clothes washing/drying machine with soap pods available, etc.
The host waited for us at the apartment at the agreed upon time.
Location is high up in the hills of Bairro Alto, near the Dom Pedro Alcântara viewpoint. Taxis can’t get right up to the building door because the streets are restricted to neighbors but it will leave you half a block away. You have to walk up four flights of stairs with your luggage. Not for anybody with mobility problems.
The neighborhood is very noisy at night, which can be witnessed from the two bedrooms near the street; the main bedroom is quiet because it looks into surrounding roofs and not onto a street
