We had an amazing stay! Nereu was a perfect host! He was so welcoming and really looked after us. Because of Nereu we had an authentic Carnaval experience. he helped us to settle into the city very quickly. He is a man that loves his city and obviously enjoys sharing his knowledge. the Apt was in a perfect location, one block from the beach, one block from the supermarket and a couple of minutes from lots of shops and restaurants. the apt was spacious and very clean. we felt very safe and comfortable in the area and the apt. the doormen are a very friendly. We had a great trip in a great apt with a great host and hope to return some day! i would 100% reccomend
