Nilma is a great host. I traveled with my family and we felt like in home since we entered into the apartment. Although we didn't get to meet Nilma, she was always in communication with me giving advice on things to do in Rio and she even helped me with an issue I had with the transfer to Galeao at midnight! The apartment looks just like in the pictures, it is one block from subway station and the neighborhood is very quiet. We would definitely come back
