Marie is a very sweet, very organized person, and she took great care in every step of my stay, from initially saying hello to meeting me for check in and orienting me to her home. The room was very comfortable, albeit quite small. There is a big closet Though for luggage storage, and she provided a bath robe. There's a little window that looks out to the rooftops nearby and a busy street in Bairro Alto. I felt like I was staying in a tower atop a castle. Very cute space, and right in the middle of a bustling fun neighborhood with a lot to see and do.
