Julie is an excellent host and goes above and beyond to make sure we had a great time in Rio. We don’t speak Portuguese so she helped us a lot with translations and finding fun things to do in the city. Her place is beautiful and bright we loved waking up and having coffee on the balcony. The place is very spacious and organized with great art from all her travels. Very friendly door men and safe location. All in all 5 stars, we had an excellent vacation thank you Julie!
