I love this Airbnb! It has a lot of character and includes a lovely balcony that overlooks downtown, photos of Brazil decorate common areas and comfortable rooms with long windows. Elisa and her family are extremely friendly. She has traveled and worked in tourism and understands your needs. At first glance you might be unsure about this neighborhood but it's one of the loveliest in Rio de Janeiro. When I go back to Rio I will be visiting Elisa for sure.
