“Staying here felt refreshing. The recycled old house had a nice energy. The room was spacious enough for my small family, and the shared bathroom was surprisingly clean, which I appreciated. The location was ideal – very close to the aquarium and a short walk to the metro. And I have to mention Thiago, a caring and attentive host.”
