Just as advertised yet better than expected. Great location close to Maracanã and São Cristóvão fair, walking distance. Across the street is the metro station and the Quinta da Boa Vista park. Specious apartment, newly renovated and very clean. Adriano was very quick responding to my messages and accommodating with my check in. Checking out was even easier as I left the key in my apartment door and let myself out with buzzer (two main entrance doors). Safe and quiet area. On my Sunday morning walk I stumbled upon the coolest fruit and vegetable market. A big bus converted into a fruit stand (inside and outside). His mother and his brother were the best. Super friendly and with a few português words I know we got along instantly. Thank you Adriano and to your family. Hope to return one day.
