Andreia's place is perfect for many reasons. Reasons include it is close to the beach and subway. You can walk to most places, and there are many stores and restaurante minutes walk away. The neighborhood is scenic and I felt safe. Andreia and her family were very nice and helpful to me. The bed was comfy. A bath towel and face/hand towel was provided as was body wash. I stayed for 6 days and had a change of towel when needed. . You don't have to bring those with you while traveling. She is a nice and a knowlegeable host as was her family members. I became familiar with the brazilian food and culture while staying with her. Andreia and her spouse helped me find tickets for the Sambadrome to experience Carnival. I also met some of their wonderful friends. Andreia, her spouse, her son, Deniz are very helpful and easy going. No issues with checking in or checking out. They checked in me to make sure I was safe each day. The room had a ceiling fan which provided more than enough circulation and ventilation for the room. The sink in the room and the toilet/bathroom worked fine. I used the family shower which was more than adequate. I would definitely stay with Andreia again. Thanks for a wonderful time.
