The place is very well located: close to the beach, local restaurants and supermarkets. Hosts are very kind and hospitable people. They speak moderate english, enough to get everything arranged if you are foreigner. Staff in the local places usually does not speak english, but google translate solves this problem. The apartment itself is kept clean and has everything you need. Except maybe for a dishwasher, but for a short stay this is not an issue. The apartment is full of retro things, looks a little bit like a museum. It takes time to get a good look on those, but also makes the place very cosy. The balcony with a view of the hills is absolutely majestic! So cool to spend evenings there! Absolutely recommend staying there!

I don't think there are any serious issues with this place to speak about. One thing that was suprising to me is that apparently traditionally in Brazil you only get hot water in the shower. Kitchen and bathroom taps only suppy cold water, which I haven't seen anywhere else. You get used to it though.
