We have never stayed in an Airbnb at this price point that provided absolutely everything we needed from the moment we walked into the edgy modern space. The linens, kitchen products and basic toiletries were in sufficient supply for entire visit. A gift of wine, water and coffee pods were great extra touches. It truly felt like a home, with quality furnishings, top-flight windows and draperies, custom closets, a comfortable queen size bed and more than adequate heating. We cooked at least half of the 21 nights and barring a few things the kitchen was fully equipped for gourmet cooking (hand and regular blenders etc.) and dining. The quality appliances ( fridge, stovetop, vent, oven, water heater, dishwasher and clothes washer) all worked perfectly. The space is so light bright and spacious, that the pictures do not do it justice.
At 70, I found myself a bit afraid of falling as I got into the high bathtub. I would suggest non-slip strips and a diagonal grab bar. I will also note that the stairway to the loft is steep and requires good mobility.
The loft itself was airy, comfortable and equipped with dresser, wardrobe space and twin beds.
We definitely look forward to renting from Ivã again in the future at either this or another of his properties! It was absolutely a delight being in such a great location where tourists and locals mingled seamlessly. Ivã made some excellent eating recommendations and was always available to serve our needs. Coffee table books, tourist info, a good collection of woks in Portuguese and personal artwork really made the space a home.
