My stay with Elisa and Marcelo was fantastic. Elisa was my main point of contact and she speaks Spanish, English, Portuguese! Communication was easy through "WhatsApp" which is widely used in Brazil. They are both very well cultured and have traveled themselves quite a bit! Elisa is a superhost for a reason... She is that good. I have made some great friends with them and through them. I hope and look forward to returning!

The building has secured access at the front with a doorman. Distance from the airport without traffic is 30 minutes. Neighborhood is safe and within walking distance to grocery, metro, and bay. A major bus stop is out front and Elisa and Marcelo know the bus lines well. I found the metro to be easiest to use and access.

The room is good and the air conditioner is great. The bed is a bunk bed that has three separate mattresses (one pulls out on the bottom). If you're really tall, then you could have a bit of a trouble fitting on it.
