The overall experience was beyond perfect! Virginia made sure the apartment was cleaned and set up in a timely manner to receive me ( even though I arrived supper early to he city ) The apartment was in great conditions, the bikes below were a great plus for touring around and exercising at the same time !!! The apartment location was very convenient, close to everything that is good in Rio, Its a safe area as well, quiet enough considering you're in the middle of the action. And the best of all : The host :) GRACIAS Virginia !!!!
