We appreciated the size of the place. It was very clean. Communication was 5 on 5 as well. On the other hand, we would recommend that the place gets a refresh as the walls and flooring need attention. It looked run down and not as premium as advertised for the price paid. We would have appreciate direct and immediate access to all amenities and supplies that a traditional home provides such as dishwasher detergent, laundry soap and so on. It felt a little cheap to have to ask for it but Joao was kind enough to immediately respond to our inquiries and provided us the necessities. The place is VERY loud with streets parties all the time which prevented us to open the windows. We had bad sleeps every night, we even debated to leave and book something else at one point but didn't to not create trouble with the booking. The place got VERY warm with summer days and we had no fans no air conditioning. We felt unsafe few times late at night, or during night, as strangers would try to gain access to the building as well as local street gangs hanging in front of the building, selling drugs, for few hours every few days. I would recommend Joao and his company listings ( the unit was managed by a company and not an individual ) along with his friendliness and staff members. I would recommend other located properties and would not recommend this same area nor place as the inconveniences are out of Joao's control. A better area would be Rato or Baro Alto near the Botanical Garden.
