Sandra was such a carrying host, she made as a welcome drink and shared the best places and routes in the neighbourhood. The apartment was spacious, with plenty of room to store suitcases etc and relax. It offered 360 views of mountains and the city. The neighbourhood was absolutely safe any time of the day, 5mins walk to Copacabana beach where all the fun takes place. Plenty of bars and breakfast places few mins away. We used uber for going from and to the GIG airport and it costed us R$40 (~£8). The downtown was very easy to reach from Cantagalo station, which is just 3mins away from the apartment. The concierge made the check in very easy by calling Sandra and telling that we arrived. Overall an amazing stay! Thank you Sandra.
