I highly recommend Izabela's appartement. It is very cosy and bright, decorated with style and we feel very nice living there. The appartement is well equipped, with all basic products, wifi, and tv. The building is very safe, in a very nice and central area. Everything is close: restaurants, bars. The metro is 3 min. walk.
Izabela is a great host, friendly, easy going, ready to help. She received me very generously (with a great breakfast) and made me feel very welcome. Furthermore, she is a very interesting person, a good friend to have in Rio. I feel lucky to have met her and thank her greatly for everything!
