Very nice place, everything you need in amenities but just read really carefully what is at a fee and what is free for you to have at his place to avoid being charged for nothing. The linen soap is at a fee so I suggest to walk to the local market and get yourself some detergent to clean your clothes if you are staying long enough. The view of his place is nice, 3 mins walk to the nearest metro and a 5 mins walk to Lapa and very near the colourful stairs. Andre’s instructions were more than enough and his response was perfectly fine, given we were there during part of carnaval. All in all, I would suggest this place to my friends if they are visiting.
