Had a great time at Paula and Rafael’s place during the day.
⚠️ At night there is nearly endless construction noise - grinding, banging, heavy equipment, a welder. ⚠️
Based on feedback from the hosts, there is no limit on how long the construction crews can work into the night. While it seemed that most of the noise calmed down at 1am, it nearly always picked up again at 4am. This is due to a new metro line being constructed in the area between the airbnb and the São Bento train station. I suspect any location in this area suffers from the same noise/construction.
Apart from that, the location is great! The apartment is well appointed and I would definitely return (but probably not until this new line is finished in a few years).
They aren’t kidding about the low loft ceilings, there are even skid marks from what I can only assume are other guests heads 😳
