We stayed at Eraci's apartment for 11 nights during the Olympics. It was in a very convenient location, about 50 metres from the subway and 5 minutes walk to the beach. In the nearby streets there are numerous cafes and restaurants and bars. The apartment is very small but fine for 2 guests. Eraci met with us on arrival and explained how everything worked and even had some food supplies for us. Eraci only speaks Portuguese, but her adult daughter Fernanda spoke excellent English. Can recommend this apartment.
