Our stay at Vilma's was great. Vilma is very organized and easily accessible if you have any questions about pretty much anything pertaining to her apartment and Rio de Janeiro. She greeted us with a basket of fruit, croissants, and juice, which was very appreciated by my boyfriend and me. The apartment was clean and tidy, and great for a couple staying a few days in Rio. Lapa is a great neighborhood, especially at night. It was a bit out of the way when we wanted to go out to dinner in Copacabana and Ipanema, but was overall a nice location. There are lots of convenient bus stops around the apartment, and the metro station isn't too far either, about a 10 minute walk away. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Vilma's. She was an extremely helpful host, and was able to answer any and all of our questions in a timely manner.
