Elisa and her family were nice, but the stay was not the most ideal.
More of a small hostel than an Airbnb. You don't get a key to the entrance so you need to ring the buzzer everytime and just wait for the door to be opened. You'll also be sharing bathrooms and the kitchen with whoever else is staying there at the time. The room was old, musty, had stains, and could not be locked from the outside; it only had a latch to keep it closed. Not the fault of the host, but there was construction right above the room and I would be woken up to the sounds of hammers and buzzsaws. At night, you could hear debris falling down in between the walls from above. There was a blanket nailed to the ceiling to catch debris from falling, but some dirt still made its way through onto the bed. The fan in the room was partially broken so it squeaked loudly whenever it was on.
Laundry cost 20 reals which I thought was expensive, especially when considering there was no dryer and the cleaning/service fees were around 138 reals. The house is near a gym, supermarket, ATM, restaurants, and the bars, but there are so many bums in the nearby area. It's not dangerous, but still annoying to have to smell feces and urine when walking by and have the bums annoy you.
