Very nice place to stay to visit Olinda. Very nice and convenient location. I loved the warm welcome from Gildo and had a great stay!
I recommend to check with the pousada the day trip before coming so that you have time to book earlier and check for availabilities. 
I recommend to stay two days in Olinda and then do activities like day trips in the beautiful spots around. 

Best place to stay to visit Olinda

First, you have to know about the place itself. The owner made it himself, all from recycled material. It shows, but this is what makes its charm.
Basically, forget about security norms.
Rooms are more like cramped cubicles, with very small shower and toilet.
In short, a typical backpacker place. I don't know about the price, because this was the only place we found with rooms during the carnival - at an amazing horrendously expensive price (like all others btw). Rooms are clean, though.
The location is very good, at the entrance of the old city. DO NOT GO THERE during carnival, except if you don't intend to sleep during the night. There is a stage nearby, and a club next to the pousada, playing different types of music at 150 dB. But then, you don't go to the carnival to rest, right?
Note, during carnival, the external door is locked, and opened by the people inside (24/7) to be sure that only guests enter.

Breakfast was varied and very good. The owner cooked different dishes every day.

A note of the owner. If you manage a bit of Portuguese and Spanish, ask him about his life. He had many, including that of a geometer in the Amazon ...
He is a very nice and kind person. When we told him that the trip was to celebrate our wedding anniversary, he set up a table with wine, and offered us presents! A very nice human being.
The downside of this place is that nobody speaks English ... again with rudimentary Portuguese and Spanish, you can survive. The owner's youngest daughter learns English, but she is not always there.

The pousada also is a travel agency, proposing trips to different places, including Fernando de Noronha, for which they seem to propose competitive prices. If you plan to go to Fernando de Noronha (paradise on earth), check my reviews of this amazing island (one of the most beautiful places I have been to). The travel agency is run by the owner's wife whose first name is Joan of Arc !!!

They propose transportation to/from the airport for a fee (slightly more expensive than a taxi, but safer).
