Highly recommend!! Staying at Isabella’s apartment is like visiting an old friend. She is wonderful, super helpful, and very flexible. Incredibly communicative! The location is ideal and the room fine for a solo traveler staying for a short time in Rio (if you’re staying more than a few days, check and see if her larger room is available). Also, there’s some construction going on in the building with noise and machines beginning around 8:30am, so if you like to sleep in just bring earplugs and you won’t have a problem. Loved my stay and definitely plan on returning!
