This place was perfect for our stay in Rio! Alexandra and Marcia are both very responsive, full of useful tips, and made our stay really easy and comfortable. The flat itself is great, Alexandra has left many things for guests to use which makes the stay much more comfortable - basic kitchen ingredients and supplies (salt, pepper, spices and herbs, a blender, coffee maker, coffee, etc), books (including guide books), some extra beach supplies, etc. The place is comfortable, clean, and located in an amazing neighbourhood, just a 10-15 minute walk from Lapa (which was ideal as the streets during carnival were too crowded to get there easily by uber). Not only is the neighbourhood great, but it's well connected to literally everywhere else that we wanted to go in Rio - very easy to get around from there by bus or metro. Great stay, and I would definitely recommend this flat to anyone going to Rio.
