I stayed at Maria’s place for a bit of my trip during carnival in Rio.
It was comfortable, accessible and a all around lovely flat to stay in. Looked exactly like the photos.
Maria was also very helpful and allowed me to move in to the apartment earlier than check in so I didn’t have to hang around with my bag.
Located between ipanema and cococabana beaches as awell as the metro only being a couple minutes walk away it is a perfect location.
