Valéria is an amazing Host.
It was like staying with family. We enjoyed her hospitality very much together with her places, food, music, and Brazilian documentary recommendations!! Anything we needed, she accommodated.
If you stay here I would treat it as though you are staying with your aunt and keep the same respect. It would not suit those who wish to have full privacy or not enjoy conversations, interact when in the home.
We had a private shower and toilet attached to the room. The apartment is lovely looking, super clean and tidy. There is a fan and aircon unit in the bedroom and the room has a beautiful view of the forest behind.
The location is excellent, meters away from Leme beach. It also feels very safe with a lobby monitored 24hrs by security. Also, easy location for getting around Rio via walking, metro, Uber.
I would 💯 percent recommend staying here particularly if you are travelling alone or if it is your first time staying Rio.
I would love to either stay again or at least enjoy a coffee with Valéria when back in Rio
