Sérgio is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet! So nice! He was very friendly and helpful!
If I have to be honest, the place wasn't that great though. The room was tiny and really humid, but it didn't help having the window open at all times, so the bathroom was completely wet all of the time and the room was filled with mosquitoes and bugs. The aircondition was placed right above the bed, so you got sick if you wanted it to run during the night. The bed was also placed on the floor for some reason - quite weird, but maybe it was just me who didn't notice it in the pictures. Also, it was a lot further from Rio than I expected - it took an hour to get to Zona Sul, so if you want to spend most of your time there, I recommend getting a place in Zona Sul. Having said that, Joatinga Beach is lovely though.
