I had a great stay at Claudia’s place.
The location is wonderful - safe part of town, next to lots of bars and restaurants, 2 blocks from the beach. I was a little worried it would be noisy with all of the nearby nightlife, but the apartment is on the other side of the building and you can’t hear any of the street noise.
Claudia was very responsive and let me check in early to accommodate my flight schedule. I also appreciated that she provided some basic amenities like coffee and shampoo!
Wi-Fi works well - I worked remotely during part of my stay.
This is a great area of Rio to stay in, and a comfortable apartment - highly recommend!
