Bruna and Valerie are great hosts! They provide lots of comforts in the room (water and milk in the fridge, light breakfast fare including coffee and tea.) The apartment is a really interesting place and Bruna did a lot of the art on the walls. I liked the big terrace above the bustling street. Bedroom and bathroom are far apart and there is considerable street noise at night, uphill walk with luggage will give you quite a workout - but all in all it is a wonderful space and an easy location for the metro and major areas of the city.
