We have stayed at 8 places in Brazil this trip. This place had the best shower, beds, and linens of all of them. We loved the water filter/ cooler thing. Loved the separate fridge/ freezer with ice. We had a tree right outside our window where we saw a monkey. We used the washer and it worked great. Pizza place next door was good. A block and a half from the beach. There are lots of people sleeping on the streets about a black away. The one thing we didn't like is that there is no protected parking. We were able to park on the street outside because we were lucky enough to get a spot. We did worry that the car might be broken into so we made sure to leave nothing in the car.
