The location is absolutely perfect. There are at least 10 restaurants that got 4.4 stars and above. It’s also a big plus to have a parking spot in such a central location. Bario alto is just a few minute walk if you want to have a fun night.
The apartment itself is very spacious with a big dining room to have nice pre drink with your familly. We were 4 couples and 3 kids and we had plenty of space. I understand it’s mentioned in the listing that there is no AC but it worths saying it was very hot in the apartment (way more than normal). Joana and Guilherme were very responsible and brought extra fans. It helped but didn’t solve the problem. At night it got colder outside but you can’t sleep with the windows open because of the noise coming from the street (people singing, crying, dancing etc) until 5/6 am.
The apartment is fully furnished but would need some items to be changed/refreshed : coffee machine is barely working, some fans are clicking when rotating, there are nothing to close the bathtub, washing button has button broken, we bought Olive Oil and left it in the kitchen so that next guest can have it.
Bedding was very comfortable and the apartment was clean, we had enough towels for all of us.
Finally, in term of communication, Joana and her colleagues were very responsible any time we had a question and even found us a babysitter that I highly recommend (Maguy), she looked after our 2 years and 2 months old.
Overall, I would recommend this place to stay but be mindful of the temperature or noise.
