Title: False Advertisement
I'll start with the positive aspects of the stay: the location is fantastic. A metro station is about 5-10 minutes away, and taxis frequently pass by the property, making it easy to catch a ride. There are numerous shops and restaurants nearby. The communication with the host, Bruna, was excellent. She responded the same day or night.
The bad: The property does not live up to expectations. The photos in the listing must have been taken a long time ago because it did not look like that when we arrived. We arrived to a broken toilet that smelled like a portable restroom (not exaggerating) because roaches would emerge from the broken, smelly toilet. The pots in the kitchen were worn out, there was a broken chair, and worst of all, the apartment did not have air conditioning as advertised. There were two portable air conditioners with long tube filters that blew hot hair back into the room. We'd arrive at an oven after a long day of touring the city. During our stay, we did not have enough trash bags or paper towels, and none of the bathrooms had hand soap.
We complained to the host about the scorching heat at night, which kept us awake, and she asked for permission to enter the property while we were gone to provide a'solution' - to our surprise, the solution was long chains for the mini fans in the rooms. We then decided to contact Airbnb.
