We really enjoyed staying in this apartment right in front of praia da macumba. The apartment couldn't be located better. The landlord was extremely helpful with check in and anything that we needed while on the premises. The reasons that I'm giving 4 stars is because he charged us a fee in person for bringing two small dogs despite the fact that we put animals in the reservation (and paid a fee for them up front as well). He also had left one of the rooms and bathrooms locked at first. He said it was because he thought we were a couple, which really has nothing to do with the fact that we paid for the entire apartment, not half of it. I also think the apartment could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly upon check in. At the end of the day, this is a good apartment in an exceptional location with plenty of amenities. I would definitely recommend a stay here depending on the group and the situation, as long as the expectations are set up front with the group and the owner.
