Juliana was very communicative and helpful. She got us more towels when we asked for them, and responded to all messages. There are 2 beach chairs in the apartment that were very useful—nice touch. The apartment is in a great location, very easy walk to beaches and the metro. Tons of restaurants and stores close by.
The apartment is a tight space. The biggest thing detracting from the experience was that the apartment next door was being completely redone, so there was loud construction noise for most of the day each day we were there. That was not the host’s fault—just bad timing on our part. Juliana is clearly a great host, and the location was the saving grace for this place.
