Staying at Leonilde's was (depending on your age) just like staying at your cousin's or grandma's place when they're not home. They make sure you have everything you need, and look out for you while your there. Nilde and Valdo are wonderful people and we hope to get to see them again. The apartment feels just like you are staying with family. The neighborhood is a typical residential city neighborhood, quiet, not touristy, good restaurants, convenient stores and supermarkets, and well connected to the city center by bus or metro. We would return and can recommend it to others.
