Denise’s apartment was a perfect location for our Rio adventures. The place is lovely and very quiet, on a beautiful tree lined street only a block away from restaurants, supermarkets and bars. The metro is a few blocks down (5 min peaceful walk) and the beach is less than 10 minutes away. This is the best apartment if you don’t want to be a tourist, but rather fit in with locals.
The space is great - two spacious bedrooms and a great shower. We did our laundry, borrowed the beach chairs, and relaxed on the couch during our stay. Denise was a wonderful host - meeting us to show us the apartment, amenities and even made sure we had a taste of Brasil (pao de mel). She was incredibly flexible with check in and check out - which I always appreciate from a host when there isn’t another guest knocking at the door.
