My friend and i spent 4 nights at celia's.it was a perfect stay.when i arrived celia had her friend over to help with translation as celia only speaks portuguese but for the rest of the stay we were able to communicate without any problems.celia helped us so much with visiting rio.she gave us great tips about public transportation et places to see .the room and appt were impeccable.all the towels were changed mid stay.every morning we had fresh fruit and coffee and anything else to eat.
The location is a 10 min walk to subway stop and to ipanema beach and to lagoa as well.we felt very safe walking at night in the neighborhood.great places to eat. We highly recommend this place and would go back for sure!
