Host has a nice folding room divider to give you your own space in a room that otherwise might seem small, and it's an actual bed (I guess I was expecting a couch or something given the low cost). Cute British shorthair kitty may bless you with his presence, a gift to be sure, but a problematic one if you're allergic or something I suppose. Neighborhood is a hip Portuguese-speaking area; felt quite safe. I was in town for a soccer game, so it's worth noting that it's about 20 minutes on foot from Red Bull Arena. It's on the third floor, so if you can't get up stairs I could see that being an issue. Otherwise, no real complaints here!
