Ana Paula's place is clean, in a quiet area. Restaurants and a few stores are nearby. It's removed from downtown Rio but buses are working, as well as a subway station accessible on foot with a 15 minutes walk. You can also get an uber or a taxi.
Ana Paula is always available and helpful, her niece Alice is very helpful too, and is fluent in english. Alice can help you get the area sorted out with bus stops and shops around, as well as give advice on where to go touring Rio.
Bear in mind that if the two beds are technically in different rooms, there is no physical separation between the two (no door).
We had a great stay in Rio thanks to Ana Paula & Alice, wish we had stayed longer. Would recommend to anybody.
