Unfortunately not my best stay in an AirBnb. Filipa was on holiday during our stay which is not a problem in itself, but getting in touch was.
Only a day before arrival we were informed that there was a dehumidifier in the apartment, and upon arrival we saw that there was mold on the wall next to the entrance door and some in the bathroom (hence the dehumidifier). If I had known in advance I wouldn't have chosen this apartment due to the obvious health risks.
Apartment is located on street level and we had noise waking us up due to passing people at night.
One day we came home and there were about 20 cigarettes in front of our door; we suspect that one of the neighbors had been smoking outside all day and just left the cigarette buds there.
On the positive side, location itself is great, it's 10 min walk from Sao Bento, 10 min from city center. Apartment was small but cozy. It can get hot during the night but there is a ventilator and bars in front of one of the windows if you wish to sleep with open windows.
