There aren't really words to describe how incredible of a host Cris is! Cris is an incredibly compassionate, sweet and friendly person. She has such wonderful energy! Cris is a super attentive host and made me feel at home during a time in the world where so much is scary and uncertain.
I arrived in her place at the beginning of the quarantine and spent four months there and I felt so comfortable and at home. Cris, was always in communication to check and make sure that I was okay and sometimes just to say hello! If I had any question, doubt or concern her response time was extremely quick!
The apartment is close to everything within a 10 minute walking distance and the neighborhood is wonderful. There are grocery stores, the outdoor market every saturday with fresh produce, flowers and honey, cheeses and pastels. Casas Pedro the bulk food market is close by. There are several pharmacies in close proximity and an amazing acai place right downstairs as soon as you exit the building. It is a short walk to the Santa Theresa neighborhood and a short metro or uber ride to the beach. And when things re-open - it is super close to bars and a lot of Carnaval blocos. It is truly in an amazing location! The neighbors in the building who I encountered were super friendly
The apartment itself was super super clean and gorgeous - with beautiful windows and light pouring in. I felt super comfortable and creative in this home. I had everything I needed to cook on a daily basis. The bathroom is so beautiful with a gorgeous bathtub. I can speak more highly of this place and of Cris. I had such a great stay!
Anytime that I am in Rio it will be an honor and a true pleasure to stay in Cris' home.
