The apartment was very clean, it had all utilities that you would need. There was also a good mini market close by for any necessities. The location was very calm and quiet in general, with the occasional noise from people on the street. But that wasn’t too bad. It’s also very close to the major land marks and has lots of nice restaurants and breakfast places close by. It’s even very close to a view point called Miradouro de Santa Catarina.
However, on day 3 we had an issue with a cockroach. It was incredibly disgusting and stressful and we didn’t really get any good advice or support on how to deal with this from the owners. The next day we tried calling them and messaging them all day to see if they could make sure the house was sanitized, since we had found one more dead cockroach in the house (indicating that this is a not a one time incident). We didn’t get any response and our calls were repeatedly ignored. When the owners finally answered us in the evening they did not even acknowledge or apologies for ignoring our calls all day. Which was very unprofessional.
Other than that the stay was good.
