I've stayed there for 5 days, and the entire experience was positive. The owner is very reachable, the place is comfortable, clean and practical. Your room will face a lovely backyard, beautifully done. The location is great, really close to the Oval metro station, walking distance. Many buses that will take you easily to all the main tourist attractions. And take some time to discover the area! Many great restaurants nearby, african, portuguese restaurants and cafés, italian cafés, pubs, beautiful parks. I can only endorse all the previous positive comments. Nothing shorter than perfect. You can stop looking now and just go ahead and book this place.
