I stayed at Gizela place only for one night since I was visiting Rio for the weekend. The room was quite small, but it was fine for my purposes and the short stay. Gizela was very friendly and let me check in a bit earlier and check out later than usual. This was a big relief to me as I could explore the city without having to carry around lots of stuff. In addition, she gave me useful tips about places worth visiting in Rio. In general, it was a pleasant experience.
