Joao is a very good host, made us feel comfortable and he let us check out late since there were no other guests coming on the same day. The apartment is not very big but complete with EVERYTHING that you may imagine. Every detail has been cured to make your stay pleasant. There is a bedroom with a beautiful view to the "morro" and another smaller one with no windows but well ventilated. All the bedroom and bathroom linens were VERY clean. The building is safe and quiet. It takes about fifteen-twenty minutes to walk to the beach. Thank you Joao!
