Apartment is as described. Location is great, about 2 blocks away from the water and a 10min walk to sao bento station. We were there when the weather was in the mid 80s. The apartment stayed fairly cool and we didn’t feel like we needed an AC. Our only negative to this apartment was the temperature for the shower (we were aware prior to booking from reading other reviews). We like to take long (about 10min) hot showers, and unfortunately, the temperature becomes lukewarm towards the end. We used the washer and dryer, which both worked very well (detergent provided). Overall, a great stay and highly recommended!
