the apt is very beautiful as per the photos. the check in was good and the comms also excellent. good location.
sadly, there is construction work in most of the street and in particular right next door and right opposite the flat with building work (bricklayers at 7:30am!) until very late hours. we felt that we should have been made aware of this or the price should be much lower taking it into account. we live in Rio which is a big city and noisy and although I read some comments about street noise I thought it would be ok as we are used to it. However, it wasn't the street noise that ruined our sleep, but the building work and also the upstairs neighbour walking around the flat until 2:30am. the floorboards are very creaky and so you can hear everything. also, if you have kids in the next room they can also hear everything as the door has a huge gap at the top.
also, the internet doesn't work very well and this was explained to us when we checked it so apparently it is a continuous problem.
unfortunately, 3 nights without sleep sort of ruined our stay.
