Karina was quick an straightforward with price and availability for her place. Other hosts in Rio seem to play with the calendar in the high demand dates and keep potential guests hanging.
Conversely, Karina had everything set up. Since the building operates as a high-end inn, the doormen and cleaning staff were at hand to make our stay a convenient and confortable one. The apartment is well endowed with bedroom and living room A/C units, good Wi-Fi, and an adequate kitchen. The road right in front is full of outdoor bars, restaurants, hardware stores, and supermarkets. The rooftop pool has a nice view of the beach too and is a refreshing place to wait the sunset out. Definitely a great location.
