Rejane was the first person I talked to in Rio. She spoke great english, which was awesome because I otherwise would have no idea of where to go, what to do, and how to get there. During my stay at her gorgeous apartment, we kept in touch via Whatsapp and she was extremely helpful in guiding us on places to go. I highly recommend a stay at Rejane's apartment. Not only is the view absolutely breathtaking, and the building and neighborhood very safe, but if you're a first timer in Brazil and only speak english, you also get an excellent helper for your trip!
