Staying at Valeria's apartment was very easy and pleasant. The apartment is exactly what we expected, a well-located and cozy place with a great view to the lake. Air conditioner also helps a lot when staying during the hottest days of Rio. Valeria wasn't there to receive us, but she left instructions with the apartment guards, and they were friendly and helpful. We really liked the living room, specially the couch, TV, and big pillow. Some minor things were missing in the apartment, though: no matches for the stove (we had to ask from the neighbor), one of the dinner table chairs missing, and one of the room's air conditioner wasn't functioning (although this was already expected) and the room was quite hot when hosting three people. But otherwise we were happy with the apartment, and recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located and nice place.
