We (2 ppl) really really loved this wonderful apartment. We stayed for a week and did not lack for anything.
Marcelo and Miriam are the best hosts one could hope for: attentive, caring, swift to reply. They even left us food and drinks after we had arrived from a long flight.
As to the apartment: it is exactly as described. Very close to the beach, in a good and safe area and very quiet (which was essential to me since I am a light sleeper and Rio is incredibely noisy)
The bedroom faces a small forest, which guaratees good air and peace. To me it felt like an oasis in the middle of a crazy city 😄
Toilettries, towels, washing machine, good equipped kitchen were also available. The aircon is rather loud but we did not need it at night.
Buses are close by
I do not know how far the metro station is, because we mostly usedUber.
I would definitely stay here again!
Thank you Marcelo&Miriam
