The apartment is in a great overall location, close to Trindade metro which has a direct line running to the airport, as well as being close to a good selection of bars and restaurants. The accommodation was very clean and tidy, and Sousa was always available on WhatsApp, being very helpful and friendly, in case we needed anything.
There are a few things however, that are not accurately reflected in the description. There is no lockbox available for self check-in, so we had to call Sousa when we arrived to get into the apartment, and there is no microwave in the apartment. Our biggest issue though, was with the surrounding noise. There was major construction work going on in the building next to us, which involved cranes, concrete mixers, and lots of drilling. The work typically started at 7am and carried on until after 5:30pm for every day that we were there. For most of the time this was OK, as we were normally out of the apartment by 9am and not back before 5pm. However, inside the apartment you can also hear everything that is going on in the apartment directly above. Unfortunately for us, the occupants in this apartment had very lively conversations every night from around 8pm to 4am, and seemed to move a lot of furniture around during this time. This did not provide us with any good nights sleep throughout our stay.
I think it is important that hosts should warn clients when there are going to be disruptions in or around the apartment, such as ongoing construction works or the possibility of noisy neighbours, and also check that everything they have described in the accommodation details (such as self check-in lockboxes and microwaves) is actually available. In the event that the quality of the stay is going to be compromised due to temporary disruptions or missing items, the host should make an effort to compensate for this through either providing a discount or some other gratuitous offering.
