I stayed in Luiz's place for nearly 7 nights. The proximity to the beach is great, and there are a bunch of local food and shopping sites nearby. With that said, the actual room left much to be desired. There was dog/cat hair all over the bed and pillows, a very strong paint-like odor in the room for several days during my stay, no air condition in the room (trust me, this is a huge problem given the heat/humidity in the summer), and I had to kill two cockroaches during my stay. There was also a very strict, zero-tolerance no guest policy.
If this review were about Luiz himself, it would easily be 5 stars (warm, welcoming, and overall fantastic host), but I will honestly look elsewhere in the future.
