Michael was a very friendly host and extremely helpful with all the questions we had - he has a very good knowledge of the city and the area. He made us feel welcome and encouraged us to feel at home in the house. We even ended up hanging out all together on a couple of the nights.

He took us out on the balcony as soon as we arrived and pointed out the lay of the land from our view of the city. It really helped to get a grasp on things geographically.

The house was darling and although we were 4 people we weren´t climbing over each other as the room was actually quite large (able to fit two double beds). The kitchen is a bit of a squeeze but we had everything we needed and cooked some beautiful meals with the veges we bought from the market just down the road. The house is also very well located with easy access to Santa Teresa and Lapa.

Recommended! Two thumbs up!
