Miriam had an excellent apartment in a fantastic neighborhood. I did not get to meet Miriam, but her cousin and mother were very welcoming and informative. The room is clean and comfortable and accurately represented in the Airbnb description. The best part of the room was the location...one block to the beach and numerous shops and restaurants in walking distance. Overall, the neighborhood was safe, clean, and fun. Thank you for welcoming me to Rio, Miriam!!
