I enjoyed staying in Flávio’s place. It’s a nice house, well de decorated. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. I slept very well.
The house is in a district close to the historic city center (one can do everything by foot), but a little out of the touristic hustle and bustle. The street is rather calm, although the garbage containers in front of the house across the street can be noisy (certainly when they are being emptied). There are a lot of good restaurants (also veggie and vegan) in the vicinity, as well as good places for breakfast. And if you’re in for more alternative/creative shops with independent designers, graphic design, … this is your neighborhood
