Great, great, great! Please see my earlier review for more info. My husband and I came back to Mercedes' apartment after a trip to Salvador, Bahia. Not only is the apartment awesome, but Mercedes is a wonderful host. This time she recommended a fantastic steak restaurant, not to mention a hair stylist, since my hair had grown out so much since I arrived in Brazil. I hope I can get back to Rio and would definitely want to stay with Mercedes again!
