Three girl friends and I stayed in this apartment while we were in Rio for the Olympics. We couldn't have had a better experience! Nadson and his family are the sweetest, and his daughters speak English very well. They were so helpful with anything we needed, and even took us out for a quick tour of the neighborhood, and we met up with them for drinks a couple times. The apartment is clean and fits four comfortably. The kitchen is very small, but we went out to eat mostly so it was ok. Shower wasn't always hot but we didn't mind. It is very close to all shops, grocery, public transportation, and the beach! We always felt safe. We have a new family in Rio now, and having the Werneck's as hosts was so valuable. Muito obrigado!!
