Apartamentos Rosa do Bairro Alto

Nice location

Everything was amaising

Lots of space, great location, had most of the hardware things you would need for a short stay. Good soundproofing on a busy street (at least at night!)

No directions on how to use anything in the apartment upon arrival. No host book to welcome or orient the traveler. Washing machine was a mystery to us. No consumables like coffee pods, washing machine pods, dishwashing items or dish towels of any kind to use for anything. To stay here, your first stop needs to be to a market to buy all essentials except toilet paper. When calling the host for washing machine instructions, he basically told us we messed up and would have to wait it out.

Size of the apartment.

The apartment is located on a street with several bars. This was not disclosed to us. The noise from the CROWDS was very loud and lasted until well past 3am. Also, it was not disclosed to us until the day before our arrival that our apartment was on the third floor. I would have canceled, the apartment rental was non-refundable. There were no instructions left for what to do with 9 days of accumulated trash. No instructions on how to operate the dishwasher or stove or microwave. The television in the living room didn't work. The two end tables on either sides of the couch contained lamps that didn't work because there were no outlets to plug them into. It was all for show! There were no wash cloths. The bath towels provided were hard and old. The toilet seat was partially broken so it moved everytime it was sat on. One of the pillowcases was dirty or stained. The seat cushions kept sliding forward on the sofa while seated on it. Finally, there was a giant beam that ran right in the middle of the living room that we had to keep ducking. My husband and child hit their heads on the beam. It was so massive. This should have been disclosed!!!

The space in the apartment and the bed was great. Clean towels, and the location of the property was excellent. Surrounded by good restaurants and sight seeing options were walkable.

Not enough toiletries such as hand soap, there were no dishwasher tablets nor tea/coffee/sugar/salt. For the kind of price you should expect these basic things from the property. Also, the host was not at all responsive on the chat platform of the bookings.com.
