The host is very nice, helpful, and educated. She found always the time to answer all of our questions. We found out that she also knows Portuguese, and this was a beautiful surprise. She made us feeling at home, for sure. The house is old, and it has a wooden floor that makes some loud noise, but we got used. On the other hand, the place is very well located, and it has everything you need to prepare your meal and rest on a comfortable couch. It is plenty of appliances, tools (e.g., to make little repairs in your luggage), and it has a fast Wi-Fi connection. The absence of a TV set was not a problem. The neighborhood has many restaurants, groceries, and a variety of shops and services. There is a movie theater very close as well. The access by bus, subway and train are also easy. Summing up, I recommend this place for everyone who wants to feel at home.
