Luciana's place is in a newer, gated complex, on the ground floor facing the back. It's a studio layout with a divider for the bed area. It's clean (as pictured), with good WiFi, a firm bed, and a dedicated parking spot. At night, we could hear the neighbors who live above, but otherwise it's a quiet area.
We came on foot and relied on the public bus (about 200 m walk), which comes every 20 minutes and takes 20-30 minutes to get downtown near the train station depending on traffic. The neighborhood was a bit tough without a car as it's primarily a residential area. We didn't find many good restaurants within walking distance and while there are mini marts nearby, the supermarket is a 15 min walk along busy roads.
Luciana is a great host- she's very responsive and gave us public transit information, met us as we arrived, helped us receive mail, and arranged transport to the airport. Thank you!
