Larissa was a great host who was very easy to communicate with through the app. She was very helpful and responded to every concern. The apartment’s decor was modern and everything works! No critters or nasty stains that would turn away this clean freak! The beach was a short 5 minute walk away. The location is in an active area but peaceful overall. My only concern was the oven reheats food very very slow. It’s new but just doesn’t get hot fast if your use to other appliances. She provides most of the toiletries you will need but if you need something extra shopping is nearby! I have been renting apartments for 20 years in Rio and can honestly say her place ranks high. I will recommend it to anyone .
