Veronica's booking has been fantastic from the get-go. She's been very responsive, even when my arrival time changed a few times.
The apartment is in a great central location anf 2 minutes walk from the metro station. All necessary amenities are also nearby (market, pharmacy, restaurants, etc)
If you come by car, the apartment overlooks a public parking spot free of charge so you can keep an eye on your vehicle.
Finally, the host helped me with initial tips and guidance around the city and transportation.
I'll definitely come back everytime I come to Rio!
