Its a beautiful apartment, but this ended up being a disappointing stay. We stayed here for 1 month and really needed a place that was set up for long term stays and the apartment missed the mark.
Cons:
- The Cleaning: The apartment was not very clean when we arrived, there were still stains/spots on the floor, the bedding and 1 of the pillow cases had stains on them. And, there were no cleaning supplies in the apartment beyond a broom for you to clean up. We had a weekly clean included in our price but there were issues with it. They never mopped the floor. The basics of the apartment were not provided or replenished. The whole time we were there they never replenished the toilet paper even though there were only 2 rolls when we checked-in, (one clean they actually took the toilet paper we had in the bathroom that we bought) . They never replenished the dish soap or hand soap. There were also no sponges only a communal scrub brush was provided (which given covid I don't think is sanitary) and only 2 dish washer pods. They also never provided garbage bags. So we did have to buy basics for the apartment ourselves that we felt should have been provided, especially for a long term stay.
- WIFI/Internet: Several times the internet went out for hours. I reached out to the host to ask about it once but got the sense that she felt it was my computers problem and not a larger issue. Even though it continued to happen several times over the course of the month we stayed.
Pros:
- Location: Super central, down the block from Adios and 2 blocks from a Pingo Doce. You can walk pretty much anywhere from the apartment.
Aesthetic: The apartment is well decorated, and the how water in the shower last for a long time.
Overall, if you have a short stay I think the apartment could work for you, especially if you plan to be out most of the time. But I would not recommend it for long term stays.
