Monica was a great host from the moment I first arrived until the moment I said "tchau" and headed for the airport.

I did not reach the apartment until late, yet she and her friend waited and invited me out with them. She could not have done more to make me feel welcome. It was almost like staying in a hotel, with bottles of water, homemade pao de queijo, a printed map and a Brazil-flag pen. The room itself was beautifully decorated, just like in the photos. There are two little dogs, both of whom are very friendly and cute.

The apartment is safe and secure and only a short walk to the beachfront. I would definitely, without question, stay there again.
