Condomínio Mandakaru Residence 12

So comfortable, I loved it. Wonderful.

The flat is close enough to the beach and Porto de Galinhas center that we could get around on foot easily. It’s a quiet area, and although the cars are parked on the street, it seemed peaceful. The apartment itself was calm, with new fixtures and good furnishings. Still, we missed some essentials: a microwave, an electric coffee maker, a double sheet to cover the bed, and stronger locks on the doors and window. The suite shower door was missing its glass, and the mattress was very worn.

The main thing that made up for the apartment’s problems was the location: the condominium is about 300 meters from Porto de galinhas beach and roughly 1,000 meters from the town center. The apartment we chose looked like the one advertised online, but it wasn’t ready when we arrived. The bed and towels were wet, and the air conditioner was dirty, so we had to stay in a different apartment next door, which wasn’t very good either. After the rental was confirmed, the owner didn’t seem very responsive. Maintenance was overdue, and most of the air conditioners were old and dirty. There were only a few that seemed new.

The location is a real plus, with the beaches and town center nearby. A few things could be better: pest control, basic supplies like salt and oil, and having a washing machine in the apartments.
