I didn't meet Gilda personally, but I had the pleasure to meet Heloisa.
Heloisa was very helpful and nice. It was very easy to get in contact with her before our trip and while we where staying in Rio. She really takes care of us, I can't imagine a better host!
The apartment is very well located, vey close to the beach, clean and full of everything you could need. We were six people and we really enjoy the big living room. Pictures represnt it perfectly!
I highly recommend this choice if you want to stay in a safe area, great location and beautiful apartment.
Thanks a lot!
