We didn’t meet Viviane during our stay but her brother Eduardo greeted us and made us feel welcome. On arrival Viviane and Eduardo had prepared a list recommending places to eat and drink during our stay, which was idea of our first few days in Rio. They also advised how to travel within Rio and markets to visit during our stay.
The apartment was in an ideal location, couple of blocks from the beach, it was within close proximity of public transport and most importantly the apartment was clean and tidy. If I was to pick a fault it would be that the apartment noisy during peak traffic times however, the apartment was safe and we got to know the doorman by the end of our trip .
If you are thinking about book an apartment with Viviane I would definitely recommend it.
