Check in and check out was very easy. The staff was easily accessible for questions about the property or the city. The cleaning staff was accommodating to us, since we didn't have our room cleaned for the week we were there, but they were good about giving us fresh towels when we asked. The location was great, with parking right out front in a pinch for a fee, or else in a garage nearby if that wasn't available, and a 6-minute walk from a free lot. We were a 5-minute walk from delicious food at Sabores or Rotas da Ilha Verde. We took the word of some other prior patrons about the beds (we love a hard bed), but the bed was still not hard enough for us, and didn't offer the back support we love. Other than that, the room was large and clean, with awesome heights to the ceilings. It was nice to have a kitchen available, too, and the shower was large and had great water pressure and temperature (the rain head shower was nice). The large windows that opened onto balconies was nice for fresh air and for watching the sunset. The street did stay sorta noisy with drunken fools most of the nights, but only intermittently. Overall, a nice place to stay.
