The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, situated in a nice and safe area with 24-hour doorman. The bus stop and metro station (Flamengo) are nearby. The hosts (Elisa, Marcio and Julia) are very nice people, kind and friendly. They made us feel like we had known each other for a long time at the very first time we met!! With them, we really feel like being with our own family. They know a lot about the city and gave us many useful information. We definitely would like to go back to their place the next time we plan to go to Rio de Janeiro.
