Thiago is a great host. He met me at check-in and helped with my bags (up one set of stairs) and he was flexible on my check out too. The welcome box with snacks and drinks was a lovely touch. The apartment is spotless and well equipped. The WiFi is fast and strong. It's a great place for a few nights stay, giving you the neighbourhood of Santos on one side and Alcantara and Belem on the other. The drawbacks are a very small bathroom (I had to sit at an angle on the toilet, step sideways in and out of the shower, and shuffle around the sink). I am a light sleeper and there is a lot of traffic in the area until 11pm sometimes later, so I wore earplugs. Thiago has no control over the external noise and the building is very old, so it is what it is. But he is a kind host with a lot of local knowledge, and he wants his guests to enjoy their stay.
