Erica was a very responsive host and the house was very clean and nice. She offered us a second room so my friend and I could have separate spaces which was incredibly kind of her. The rooms were nice. Desk, bed, good space. Bathroom was clean and so was the kitchen, which she allowed us to use. The price was very nice.
I only have a few comments:
1. It is located right across from a Favela (good view from the apartment), so I would be careful walking around the area. I'm from the US so Ubers were cheap, so my friend and I always just ordered Ubers out. Regardless, I would be careful. We had one scary interaction with a jumpy cop in the area. But the apartment is very safe, gated, guarded, and upscale.
2. Erica was kind though slightly uptight, which is understandable since is her house.
3. No air conditioning/working fan. Maybe this doesn't matter in the winter time, but during the summer this was slightly uncomfortable.
Despite these comments, my stay was very enjoyable.
