So the apartment itself was modern with open space and lots of light. It was in a good neighborhood near the docks which was nice.
However, the pipes in the bathroom were old and the smell got really bad. It would have been nice to know beforehand, especially because we stayed for two months and spend quite a lot of time and money trying to get the smell to disappear. Also there were problems with the house such as the lightbulbs, rain coming through the window, a broken drying rack etc. When we needed someone to change the light bulbs, they rescheduled a few times so we waited whole days for them to cancel the last minute.
Also the neighbors were quite rude. It’s not the host’ fault, but the neighbors would scream at you in Portuguese for no reason.
Generally our stay was good and we enjoyed it, but there definitely are some things that could have been better - especially when paying so much for the apartment.
