We had a lovely stay in Gisella's apartment - unlike so many AirBnB apartments this is actually where Gisella lives. The apartment was well-prepared and nicely situated close to Lapa. Gisella was easy to communicate with and helpful. It is worth checking with the host beforehand that the internet is working - we found that internet connectivity in Rio in general was a bit of a problem and without really any wifi cafes it's essential that it works well.
