Luiz was an impeccable host. He was warm, very helpful, and made me feel at home. I had to get some local items purchased and a SIM card and he assisted me with finding the right places to go for all of those things.
Also, over new year's, he invited me to a small gathering he was having with his friends.
The room itself is without air conditioning which can get hot in the summertime but there is a ceiling fan that works quite well. Basically during the midday hours you should be out and about - then this won't be an issue for you. The other people at this house became friends (other guests).

The location cannot be beat. It is safe and close to everything, including the beach and nightlife and shopping.

I look forward to returning sometime soon.
