Monica and Francis were amazing hosts when we stayed in their self-contained flat in Urca, very attentive and ready to help anytime. Firstly the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom flat was clean and rooms quite spacious, ideal for families or groups. Urca is like a kind of village in Rio’s city, very cute with stunning views of Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. The beaches are ideal for kids and it’s a short distance to a place called Mureta da Urca where people enjoy drink and snacks at sunset with stunning views. The location also offers a short walking distance to Rio Sul (great shopping centre) in the town. Monica and Francis offered in the flat all information of attractions and guides.
Definitely will be back the next time we’re in Brazil!
