Samuel is an absolutely lovely guy. Everything you expect from charming Brazilian hospitality. I arrived late around 9pm and he greeted me and showed me my room. Explained to me some simple instructions of the house as you need to turn the hot water system every time you want to use it. He had water, towels and some lovely Brazilian treats for me which was nice. The room is big and had a window overlooking the city. I actually think I got the best room in the house. The wifi was the best part of this place. Very strong internet and never had a problem. Water pressure was also good and there was a washing machine. A few things you need to know. 1. The apartment is on the top floor, level 4 with about 10 flights of stairs. There is no lift. Samuel very kindly helped me with my luggage and is happy to do so if you ask although I didn’t ask when I arrived and he offered when I left. I had a very heavy bag but it was no problems for Sam. The place is different to other airbnbs I’ve stayed in. There was like multiple bedrooms all with different people and a shared kitchen and bathroom. I didn’t know this coming in and thought it was just me and Samuel but everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. This place is very basic but that’s exactly what I expected as I’m not a fancy guy and on a small budget. Place worked so just have the right expectations going in.
