Maria Isabel's apartment was fantastic! Only two blocks from the beach meant just a short walk to the beach for a swim. It was situated in a great area close to shops, cafes and restaurants. We always felt very safe in the area and the doormen of the building were very friendly.
The apartment was a great size for a couple and we were very comfortable. It was clean and neat and had everything we needed.
Maria was a good host. We did not get to meet her but she was very quick to respond to our messages and incredibly helpful from the moment we enquired.
I would not hesitate to stay in this apartment again if we return to rio.
