I had a 7:30 am flight and found Alberto's place to be attractive as it is around 15 mins walking to the airport. Alberto was quick to respond pre-arrival and provide check-in instruction in Portuguese. I know 5 words in Portuguese and probably the same with Alberto in English. I used google translate but the message didn't make sense. So I had to ask my Brazilian friends to help facilitating the check-in. On my day of arrival, Alberto was working and he asked his downstairs neighbor to assist. Lote means block/building as google translate didn't work. For anyone who are staying there in the future on a weekday during business hours, just expect the neighbor at 1C will check you in. The front gate is opened and just knock on her door. She also spoke no English but will lead you to Alberto's unit.
There are 4 bedrooms and Alberto stays in one. The other two are rented to long term tenants (met them both and were super nice people). We shared the kitchen, living room and bathroom.
My room was exactly what the listing showed. I had a few hours of good night rest before my long flight. Bed was comfy and the room was dark. Wifi worked and Alberto left some goodies which is a nice gesture. Overall, it was a pleasant stay! Note the walk to the airport has some uphills and there's stairs going to Alberto's floor.
