Very friendly and helpful host, very easy to access the apartment (arrived from the Rio Bus Station), key made available at the location
(didn't have to make any extra efforts to meet the host). Useful information on the apartment, appliances, surrounding area etc. listed in instruction booklet available in the apartment.
Apartment very well located - 3 mins walk from Copacabana Beach, 7-10 mins walk from Ipanema, with many supermarkets, ATMs, pharmacies, restaurants/take-aways nearby.
Very nice, relaxing atmosphere inside, enough space, very nicely decorated and comfortable, kitchen well-equiped. Very comfortable bed.
We enjoyed our stay at Silvia's apartment very much (travelled as a couple) and would warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a central locating for visiting Rio and the surroundings.
