Overall Miriam was an outstanding host. Apartment booking was done well in advance from our stay and she kept a friendly and responsive communication.
I travel with my kids and arriving on apartment, we found gifts for them and plenty of candies and chocolates that little ones loved.
Location is fantastic and will be better when Gavea Metro station starts to operate. You have supermarket, bakery, shopping mall, plenty of restaurants and, last but not the least, 10 minutes walking Leblon beach.
Kitchen is small and very useful with plenty of kitchen utensils. You will miss nothing.
We were six in the apartment and everything was fine. A second bathroom could make everything goes faster when is time to go out; I would say that four people is the best there.
Apartment has very good double panel windows but I am very noise sensitive and suffered a little with street noise but I have to say that I am picky with noise issue. Nevertheless, it did not compromise whole experience. It was not a issue for others members of my family.
Strongly recommend Miriam’s place and we should go back there in other travel to Rio.
