Valeria was easy to communicate with during our stay, and we enjoyed spending the night at her apartment. She gave very detailed helpful instructions for arrival/ neighborhood etc. The apartment itself is a little darker than it looks in the pictures, but overall the pictures are accurate and give a good impression of the place. The location is perfect, very walkable and central, but nonetheless quiet.

One thing to bear in mind if you have a late night flight out of Rio like we did: We had asked about late check out but because the apartment is instant book Valeria could not tell us until 11 am whether the apartment was going to be free in the afternoon, and then gave us varying times by which we had to be out after that. We could have made more out of our last day if we'd known in advance to either not take instant book or to just book the extra night.
