If you prefer to be in a living area of the city, Pauline's house could be perfect for you. The area is nice, you are next to the metro and can easily walk to many interesting places of the city.
The apartment is nice and has a big bed and two fans. Nonetheless, as it is a old house, you'd better to clean up your food if you don t want to see a ant's line. Once you adapt to that, you will have a great time in Rio.
