Zilda had everything prepared and ready for our arrival. There were extra blankets, pillows, towels - everything we could have needed. Zilda even left a gift basket of treats and some items in the fridge. The apartment is clean and quiet. The only negative thing I can say about the apartment is that it is small: very tight bathroom and kitchen. But it was exactly what we needed.

The apartment is located in an ideal location, just a few moments from Coapabana beach and about a 5 minute walk to Ipanema beach. There are many restaurants and shops immediately nearby in what felt like a very safe area.

We had a great experience staying in Zilda's apartment - she made herself available to us if we needed anything. She and her husband also picked us up from the airport for a small fee.

Thanks Zilda!
