There were some things i didn t enjoy about the place. First of all, it was cold and the heater that the lady provide it was not enough to warm such a big room. Secondly, the electricity went off many times (the first night there was no electricity). I don t belive that using the oven, heater and microwave at the same time might be a solid ground to excuse this situation. About cooking, i will suggest to eat outside, because cooking inside is going to transform the room in a restaurant s kitchen. The walls (especially the ones next to the window) were in a bad condition and the thermal isolation was very poor (this being one of the reason why it was so cold). The blanket, bed/pilloe sheet were not properly washed. They didn t smell as clean ones and i am pretty sure that they have been used before. If you are going during a period when it s more cold, ask for an extra heater (if the lady can provide you one), because the one you will find in the room will not be enough to warm the place. The position was not great, it takes around 35-45 mins to Santa Ecaterina street by walk, and a bit more untill the city center. Overall, i would advice you to spend a bit more and find a better place, more central, more cosy and with bigger space.
