The decoration of the apartment is lovely and it was clean when we arrived. The neighbourhood is quiet but not very interesting in itself apart from the nearby Fonte Luminosa. When we arrived, we used their recommended airport transfer service and it worked perfectly. A very friendly host welcomed us to the apartment. Communication with Paulo has been great.
The sleeping rooms are spacious and the beds and the bedding are really nice. For us (two adults, two kids), sitting around the dinner table was quite crammed. The living room and the kitchen are not too big either and the lack of free workspace in the kitchen was a challenge when cooking. The kitchen utensils are basic and furthermore, it would've been nice with a fully functioning vacuum cleaner and a floor scrubber. The bathroom drain had a funny and unpleasant smell. There was also some mould on the bathroom ceiling. These minor things wouldn’t bother me for a cheap apartment but here the value for money is not the best. We stayed for two months and I wouldn’t recommend it if you like cooking and/or plan to spend much time at home. Otherwise, it is a good place.
