I stayed at Vera's with a friend. Vera and her husband were very friendly and replied to all our messages promptly. The apartment is great, located next to the beach, with an ocean view and a couple of blocks away from Barra's "Olegario Maciel" avenue that has a lot of great clubs and restaurants.
The building is excellent, it has a common pool, jacuzzi and saunas that are great after a long day at the beach. The ability to get room service is also very good.
I highly recommend this place.
