Maintaining contact with Vivian and Rafaella was quite easy, and the location of the house is excellent (very close to public transportation, the beach and the supermarket).
However, the house wasn’t as clean as it was supposed to: not only did it have dirty carpets and a constant humidity in the air, but the cleaning lady had not finish here were work when we arrived (the check-in could be done by 14:00 and we arrived at 20:00). Security-wise, our group was surprised by noticing that some windows did not lock, an extremely sensitive situation as it is Rio de Janeiro. Finally, the check-out was a disaster: we had agreed with the owners of the house at 12:00 and they wanted to bring it forward to 11:30. When we arrived at midday to take everything out of the house, not only was the cleaning lady already there, but also the group that had rented the house for the next few days.
