Ok so reviews are a big deal to me and since I care a lot about where I stay, I'd like anyone as obsessive as me to know in all honesty about this place. Amazing location, we walked everywhere and a metro station was steps away. That part of the neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe. The place is nice, it feels authentic. Alexandre's cousin welcomed us and he was absolutely polite and in spite of not having met Alexandre communication with him was really easy. The bed is ok and wifi worked very well in all areas. The living room is very luminous during the day and a lot of sunlight enters through the window. They let us stay some 30 minutes after check out since we had to get the car and it took some more time than we had planned. Now for the parts I did not like so much: the room does not have a window, it has like a door that is transparent (it has been altered to be a part and appear as a wall) that connects to the living room and the only sunlight that comes into the bedroom is from the real window in the living room. The bathroom sink is tiny, so much so that when you wash your face water inevitably spills on your feet. The apartment is very cold and the shower is "open" (it has just a part where there's glass but its mostly completely open) it does not have curtains or glass doors; luckily there were two portable heaters so we connected one in the bathroom and closed the door for while for it to heat it in order to shower, otherwise it would have been freezing cold. All of that did not bother us so much, but what really got to me was the noise from the upstairs neighbors. Since it's an old building with wooden floors you can hear every single step people take upstairs and I don't know who lives there but it seemed to us it was 3 children high on sugar. They stomped every morning from 6is to 9ish and then when we came back at night usually at 8 it was the same until about 10pm. Not good for a light sleeper at all. To sum up: the apartment is nice and spacey, the location is really good, the neighborhood is cool and quiet but details like the shower being open (specially for cold seasons), the tiny sink and the noise from upstairs make me not want to book it again. If you sleep like a bear, and you won't be in the apartment from really early and you'll come back really late, then do not worry and book it. Otherwise just look for something else.
