For the positives: Where you will be sleeping is a nice room. Fairly large with a cool view of the stadium and mountains. Clean. He has a nice family who don’t speak much English but they were nice. The host does speak English well. Good access to filtered water. This I recommend. Ricardo was also helpful during the trip and even helped me to buy bus tickets (kind of confusing for foreigners without a CPF).
For the negatives: Like many others have mentioned - the bathroom. It’s not very clean. The shower is pretty moldy and towards the end lacked hot water (I’m not too familiar with the water heaters in Brazil so it might have been me). The bathroom was definitely a let down but the bedroom made up for it. The main issue I had was regarding the length of my stay. I had booked the place for a month and thought I would have access to it because it is what I paid for. I ended up leaving to visit São Paulo and had a potential to return to the US. When I did not fly home, I messaged him saying I would return for the rest of the month. He said he rented the room and I would not be able to return but he would offer me a special rate for the dates the room was available. I was not happy with that and went through Airbnb to receive a partial refund for the rest of the month. For short stays my issue shouldn’t be a problem and Ricardo was very helpful during my stay.
Overall, the room was great and the bathroom was not. Ricardo and his family were very helpful but make sure communication is clear. I would recommend staying here because of the good value and location. If the bathroom for you is an issue I would probably find somewhere else.
