This was a great place to stay! It was spacious and comfortable with two proper beds and bedrooms, a big bathroom with a good shower, and a full kitchen. Pictures are accurate.

I went with a friend, and we felt very safe and comfortable in the building and the neighborhood. It's close to a metro stop, grocery and drugstore, the top of the waterfront park, and some corner snack shops. Taxis had no trouble getting us back to the building at night, and it's centrally located so that cab fare was always reasonable.

Angelica was very prompt, friendly and helpful in all of her communication; but a note that we definitely were communicating via online translation. (I don't speak Portuguese and Angelica doesn't speak English.) This was totally fine for our pre-travel communication and even during our stay when I messaged Angelica a few questions. That said, we were definitely able to get across basic questions/answers and instructions when we met Angelica to check-in through miming, pointing, etc. which worked for us just great.
