Pontos positivos: Check-in e localização
Incredible location, underwhelming unit.
I'll start with the positives: LOCATION—you're about 100 meters from the beach, shops, cafes, bars, and more. If convenience is your #1 priority, this property is impossible to beat.
Another perk?—You can't hear the neighbors at all and you have the whole floor so its private.
The building itself is old, but fine. There's a great pool and ping pong table for those who prefer to hang out on the property versus going down to the beach. There's one elevator...it's pretty small...and for the first few days our stay it was out of order, which wasn't a huge deal, but it's inconvenient when you're coming in from town with groceries or bringing in your luggage (the unit is on the 5th floor).
As for the unit itself, the view of the harbor from the terrace is incredible, but there are certainly some shortcomings.
For the first couple days of our stay, we didn't have hot water in the showers. The property manager sent out a technician when we raised the issue, and the hot water did start running to the showers...but it would only stay hot for about 90 seconds which was disappointing.
The kitchen sink had an electrical charge so we got zapped every time we used it—upon contacting the property manger (and talking to the technician that visited the unit) the only proposed solution was to unplug the water purifier and unplug the dishwasher, rendering both useless for the duration of our stay. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the issue...there was clearly a live wire somewhere touching the sink, but we couldn't find it. So, as a result, we received an electrical shock every time we needed to do dishes, wash our hands, etc....which was a lot given our stay was 8 days.
There's a fairly strong smell of sewage (pretty sure it comes from outside somewhere, not the unit itself) but if you leave the windows open overnight, the unit smells in the morning...especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.
The beds/mattresses aren't the worst I've slept on...but they're not great. Pretty cheap. I'm not complaining because I could sleep on a bench and be fine, but I could see a lighter sleeper being bothered by them, so it's worth calling out.
All in all, it felt like we overpaid for the unit, even considering the great location...there were too many little things wrong (like the kitchen sink) to make up for being so close to the beach and promenade.
Final note: the property managers are very kind and they do try to be helpful...but the unit is out of date.
