The apartment was clean and is nicely decorated and well equipped, with an extra 2 person bed in the form of the sofabed. Great host: very communicative and helpful, made us feel very welcome when there were cold drinks and a candy bar for us when we arrived, complete with a lot of personalized info and tips about Rio. Location is ideal: 5-10 mins walk to Flamengo subway station, halfway between Centro Histórico and the beach neighborhoods, with a lot of places for eating and drinking in the neighborhood.
