There were an amazing vacations in Rio de Janeiro! Helena was very friendly and attentive host! And her son, and her friend - too. I communicated with them, because Helena was busy. But she was always in touch.
It is very nice apartment. Very close to Ipanema (few blocs) and Copacabana. If you will go direct on Rua Bulhoes Carvalho you will find Aproador - the beautifull place!
And, it is great location for travelers in Rio, because the subway station Praca General Osorio/Ipanema is near. Also the busstop is close to this accomodation place.
Favela is near too, but the street is quite safe - you can trust me, i've walking there at midnight and at 5 am (went to view sunrise at Copacobana). So anything was happened with me. There are armed police post 24 hours at the entrance to favela. All what you need will be near: supermarket Zona sul, juice-bar Casa de sucos, drogaria (pharmacy), bank, laundry and (this information for men) men's club and sauna Centaurus.
Few words about flat. All were as an photos. It is in real - bright studio with clean furniture. All technics is working well. Before my entrance Helena prepared some delicious gift - there were popular in Rio snacks and beer, and Guarana Antarctica, and some bottles of water. And all needed in lavatory. And one important thing - in this flat there are fast Wi-Fi internet and cable TV.
I've really liked this apartment. I hope, in some years I will return in this place. I've enjoyed it.
Thank you, Helena!
Valeu! Todo era Muito legal!))))
