Kinji (whom I met in person) and also Ricardo were very nice hosts. The communication was easy and quick.
The apartment is located very nicely in bairro alto and has a great view. My room was small but sufficient for one person if you spend most of the day outside like I did. The other guests were also nice and often up for a chat.
Be aware that the room is next to the kitchen so it can get quite noisy (and bright) when someone else is using the kitchen ( especially at night). Also it was very hot inside my room but sleeping with open windows helped to solve that issue for me (there are also two ventilators).
The bathroom is small as well, especially as up to five people use it, but it was usually clean.
Thank you both for letting me stay with you!
