Host doesn't speak English! It is mentioned in the host info that they do. I had to Google translate majority of the texts and when calling to the host, she gave phone to her daughter who tried to speak English but it was really hard to communicate. Her assistant who met us at the apartment also didn't speak any English. Good thing I was with my boyfriend who speaks Portuguese but it really ruined my impression of the hosts. The apartment itself is very well equipped, you will find there everything you need, there is enough space, everything is clean and well designed. Although, right next to the house entrance there are homeless people sleeping on the street, which makes it very unpleasant + horrible person smell and you can't just pass by it because you need to open double door anyway. If you speak Portuguese and okay with capacabana location then it's ideal place for you.
