Dejane's place was the perfect home base for my 10 day trip to Rio for the Olympics. I could be on the beach with a coconut in hand within 3 minutes of rolling out of bed, there are 24 hour food options right around the corner, public transit is 2 blocks away, and the place itself is nicely appointed and pretty much exactly as pictured.

I also really appreciated the touches that Dejane and her sister put into welcoming me by showing me how everything worked and having stocking the fridge before my arrival with bottled water, a few beers, and juice. I was able to come off a couple long flights and feel settled immediately, which was really nice. I highly recommend this place, and hope to return for a longer trip in the future with more time spent on the beach and less running around.
