Absolutely lovely— the room, the host, the location! Selma went out of her way to make sure I had a comfortable and easy stay. She was delightful (and so patient with me and my terrible Portuguese!) .
The location was perfect! Just 2 blocks to the beach (especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset), 2 blocks to the Lagoon trails— walking, biking! Tons of cafés, shops, and such within steps of the building. There is also a movie theater in the mall next door.
The building was very secure, the doormen were all very helpful, and the neighborhood in general also felt very safe (even as a woman traveling alone).
I would have loved to stay longer!
