Very nice place and the value is outstanding. Even during Carnival very affordable and Luiz is a nice and friendly host. I don't speak any Portuguese but we managed to communicate through Google Translate. The room doesn't have a lot of space for luggage but I had a lot and got along well with my roommate so we didn't have any problems with that. The location is great because the subway is right in front of the door and you get everywhere easily and fast.
