The loft is very pleasant.
Close enough to the metro, bicycle and bus stations (although I suggest use uber, that is cheap enough to go fast and efficiently to the center, even if you're alone) commerce and beaches .
We had no problems with the neighbourhood or arriving at night, and the police could be constantly seen around as well, although being a touristic area I always suggest caution as usual.
The loft is really confortable to 2 people, but I imagine it could be a little bit of a challenge if you're more than 3 (a loft not having walls makes difficult if you have different sleep schedules than your travel mates, for example rsrsrsr)
In the end, me and my companions really enjoyed our time here! And being my first experience with airbnb I could only wish my next hosts are as helpful as João.
