This apartment was beautiful. The balcony and windows in this place was lovely in the morning. We went during the winter so it does get cold and the host provided multiple space heaters that definitely do the trick. The place is definitely spacious for 2 people. The flooring is creaky so you so hear and feel when others walk but it didn’t really bother us. As others have mentioned, this apartment is on the 4th floor and no elevators - it’s definitely a trek up so be warned.
With check in, you have to check in at their HQ before heading to the actual Airbnb which I wish wasn’t the case but it’s about a 10 min taxi. The location is decent and close to restaurants, bars and other attractions. It’s a bit of a trek to the river area but it’s still a beautiful walk! There’s a supermarket right across the street. We had some issues with the internet and TV and the hosts were quick to respond to the problem. My bf figured out the tv somehow but it all worked out. They were accommodating to our early morning check out and early check in. They were able to give us suggestions of where to get our Covid test but we ended up passing by one by the Sao Bento Station which was convenient! Overall, a wonderful stay here!
