Tiago was very helpfull and fast with communication. The island is small, there are nice restaurants, you can visit crocodilles by boat in the neighbourhood.... Its just 2 min on the boat from metro station. Boats are going quite often for 2-6 real. So its convenient to get to other parts of Rio. House is difficult to find, in tiny street, little bit dark in the night, about 10 min from the boat. May be because of lots of rain when we were there, the whole place was wet and full of mould. It was possible to sleep only in the upper room.The house was othervise clean and well equipped. There was everything you need in the kitchen.
