João was an amazing host. The listing is accurate and even better in person. It was easy to find via Uber also. Very modern and clean, with fast wifi and cold A/C. They have included everything you would need as if you were home. The location is close to everything and walking distance to restaurants, pharmacy, transportation and main streets are literally a 5 min walk. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe the entire time and well accommodated in the room, as it is set up like a studio apartment with a huge bathroom, there is a mini kitchen area in the room to make coffee and food, a microwave, fridge, dishes and utensils, griddle, as well as a communal kitchen where you can also prepare full meals and laundry. There were complimentary drinks and snacks as well! The view from the room is also nice. Communication was excellent and the hosts were easily reachable and responded in minutes. Upon arrival, I was greeted by his mom who was already expecting me and warmly welcomed me in, as well as his dad. The room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. During my checkout, João was even nice enough to let me store my bag until it was time for my flight. I would highly recommend this stay and the host(s)and am definitely staying here again when I return. I give it 10/10.
Also note: there is currently some construction going on nearby, I am a heavy sleeper and also had the windows closed so it wasn’t a problem at all for me, but thought I’d note that for those of you who may come for work , the noise may be an interruption or those of you who are really light sleepers.
