LOCATION: great location, steps away from everything, also on a safe, quiet, well-lit street. Plenty of taxis regularly drive by. HOST: very friendly, flexible, full of helpful information. A great ambassador for Brazil! APARTMENT: probably best for 2-4 people; feels like home; very clean; not too humid; the A/C and clothes-washer worked great, no problems; showers have good strong water pressure and water as hot/cold as you want. Perhaps the only downside is that the view is limited: mostly of buildings and rooftops. We did not cook, watch TV, hot-tub, or use the internet much, therefore I cannot comment on those. OVERALL: this was one of the best AirBnB's I've ever experienced!
