Eliano was very easy to talk to and responded as soon as he could if I had any questions or concerns. He was also very understanding when I had a sudden change in schedule.
As for the location, it was perfect. It is close to a lot of restaurants, groceries, pharmacies, and also the subway. It felt safe walking along Catete because the streets are very well lit and most restaurants and groceries will be open till late.
The house had everything I needed for a 4-week stay in Rio. I was able to cook my own meals on days I didn't go out and was even able to do my laundry. The room is very well lit and gets a lot of sun. It felt very much like home. I was comfortable coming home after a long day out.
During the weekends, it can be a little noisy as houses at the back would be playing loud music from night till dawn. It didn't bother me that much but it is something to note. Overall I had a very wonderful stay at Eliano's.
