She was a wonderful host. Helped us to arrange for airport transfer with an english speaking driver. Welcomed by her at the apartment, she showed us around and explained the rules and reasons for such rules. Apartment is in a fantastic location, less than a min walk to the metro. Cooking and washing facilities allowed us to save some money on food. It is surrounded by so many bars and supermakets. Never once felt that it was dangerous to live there. During our stay, Ghizlane was forthcoming in answering our queries via phone messages. On the day of checkout, she made a quick check on the apartment, not delaying our time. I will definitely recommend this apartment to others who wish to visit RIO.
