I stayed September - mid-November. For me the fan was enough during the hotter days as there was also a lot of breeze that would come through the windows. I only used the heater once but it warmed the place up nicely.
I worked in the apartment every day and the wifi was fast and reliable.
I really appreciate that the kitchen was well equipped and had basics like salt, pepper and oil when I arrived.
It’s up a little street and the street stays well lit at night and I always felt safe, even at night. At night, I’d walk up R. São Cristóvão rather than the side streets as it’s also well lit and busy.
The bed upstairs was very comfy. You do have to duck down when you are upstairs but this wasn’t a problem for me. Another benefit of having the bed up there is it’s quiet at night.
Maurice was great at communication. I had one issue while I stayed and it was fixed very quickly and without any hassle.
It is on the top floor so be prepared to climb up some stairs but the climb is worth it for such a gem!
