Hilda was fantastic. She met us at the apartment and welcomed us. She walked us around the area and showed us the best restaurants and stores. Her place was clean and right on the beach. She has air conditioning in all of the rooms, which is hard to find in Brazil. The rooms were very large and the beds were comfortable. Hilda was a wonderful host and made herself available whenever we needed her. We will stay with Hilda whenever we come back to Rio
