I had a 3 days stay at Manuel’s place and I’m pretty happy I did.
The communication was easy despite no English, but they are nice people and you can use body language and simple words.
Location is great - just 10 min from San Bento train station and the city center. Heads up to asking for a proper address, because when you open a map via the app, it shows you wrong place higher on the street.
The room and the bathroom were clean, although no cleaning on the room. WiFi worked perfectly. The room is cozy and has all you need as a solo traveler.
I really enjoyed the stay and would love to be hosted there again.
