the pousada had minimum maintenance and a depressing, unwelcoming feel. there's a well-stocked fridge and a safe, air conditioning, and a living area. Everything you need for your stay is there in terms of basic amenities, but not worth it for the price being charged. the towels were clean, but still looked old and dingy. i did not touch them. how much could it cost to buy new towels and bedsheets, in the land of inexpensive, high-quality Brazilian cotton? the bathroom was clean, but still looked dirty. the sofa looked worn and used, and not in a charming, vintage way. more like a nasty, second-hand college dorm room kinda way. i would say that sums it up - the owner needs to put in some effort to improve the place, especially given that it's not that great of an expense to do so.
