Be advised: This room is in the Bairro Alto neighbourhood which is code for PARTY CENTRAL. It looks like a series of alleys in the day time, but at night it is alive with a ton of great restaurants and clubs nearby so it's noisy until 3 am. There are no windows in this room, except on the door, which is street level. The door is thin enough to hear everyones conversation as they walk past. While the kitchen was fully equipped, the bathroom was not. There are no toiletries included with the room and THAT INCLUDES SOAP. THERE WAS NO SOAP (or dish soap) The bed is basically a foamy mattress. Everything looks like it has been purchased at the dollar store including the fan and chair - functional but flimsy. It smelled like bleach upon entry, so it is cleaned.

The ground floor apartment was dark and confining due to lack of Windows except in door to street. We would not have booked it if we knew the TV was not working. The other amenities were just adequate, so overall it was disappointing.
