The location of the flat is great, close to Carmo Square which is a great place to have some sangria, listen to music and relax. Lovely neighborhood, easy access to metro, grocery store and restaurants. Great balcony views of the city, and one of the most comfortable beds in any Airbnb I have stayed in. Updated appliances. However, Flavia is a very unresponsive host and the check in process was a disaster. She did not respond the my message sent the day prior to check in to ensure we were set. Upon booking months prior she did provide the street address but unbeknownst to me, it did not include the actual apartment number. I spent 30 minutes walking around looking for the apartment, until her friend happened to flag me down on the street and ask me if I was looking for Flavia’s apartment. The maid who checked me in didn’t speak English and wasn’t able to explain any of the amenities. Although the flat was updated, the kitchen was not very functional due to the slope to the roof. If you’re over 5’6” bring a helmet so you don’t bang your head on the roof. Also the water pump in the kitchen goes off intermittently all night, which can be a nuisance. Be prepared to walk up 5 flights of stairs to the flat ( no mention in description) Due to the extreme lack of communication of the host I cannot recommend this rental
