We stayed in Maria's apartment for two weeks. Everything was just perfect. The building is very safe, the apartment is big, comfortable, very clean and has fast-speed wifi. The apartment is well located, there are three supermarkets nearby and several bars/ restaurants. Also it's close to the metro. Maria is super host, very kind and helpful, always available for any questions. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Rio and I hope we will meet you again there, Maria!
