This apartment and host are wonderful! The place looks exactly like in the photos and it's clean and well-kept. The doormen of the building were very respectful and friendly, and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. It was lovely to wake up to so much sunlight and the chirping of local birds! The kitchen appliances are all new and function to perfection; the ceiling fan in the living room is great; and the air conditioning in the bedroom also works great (there were a few warmer nights while we were there and it was great to be able to stay nice and cool!). The TV and WiFi also work great. Overall we felt very much at home. The location is also fantastic. You can walk to the metro, bars/restaurants, the São Salvador plaza (where there is also a lovely feira on Sundays!), the nearby Zona Sul supermarket, the nearby Flamengo park, and many other fun places. We highly recommend this spot and would definitely stay here again!
