Malu is a great host. Upon our arrival she was waiting for us in the apartment and she welcomed us very kindly. She gave us enough information to have best time in Rio and she was in contact with us in everyday of our one-week stay. She had some fruits, drinks, and basic breakfast made ready for us. The apartment was very clean. The location is great and easily accessible by any kind of transportation. We really recommend this place if you want to have a great experience of Rio.
