The stay in Maria's home was excellent! The location of the flat has the following advantages: 2min from the beach, 5min walk from the airport omnibus stop, 30sec from the metro station!! The room with bathroom and alcove is very pleasant and has all you need (tv, wifi, air conditioning, small clothes line and a desk with 2 rooms), even a great view of the park (and you can see a corner of the beach and on the Cristo on the top of Corcovado). Maria is very sweet and open to help!! As she doesn't speak english, she put in the room a little brochure with the house rules and all the informations you need about wifi, check-in and check-out time! We really enjoyed staying there and thank her very much!!
