Cesar is very accommodating with pick up. The Ubers don't come up the the Favela, so Cesar will meet you and take to you where the uber pick up range is. There is a police stand at the entry way so you are safe. There's a bakery and a church near the Airbnb so nice area. There are many stairs though, be mindful of lots of luggage. The interior is renovated and there's a piano. Wonderful experience. Cesar is a kind and helpful host.
