Lilia was a great host! Super friendly and always willing to help and make your experience in Rio better. The apartment is in a good location in proximity to the metro, cristo, supermarkets, and everywhere a tourist would need to go. It was a little hard to communicate without any portuguese but we still managed to understand each other. The only problem we ran into was that the a/c unit had some problems in the beginning of our stay, but once informing Lilia she sent someone right away to come look at the problem, and came with a brand new unit the next morning.
Thank you Lilia for welcoming us to Rio and helping us with everything!
