I stayed in Flavia’s place for the week of carnival and it was excellent value for money. It is located in a perfect spot for carnival just a street away from Aterro Park where lots of blocos are and in between the beach suburbs and centro so you’re halfway between most places you could want to go. It is also located next to multiple supermarkets, bakeries, banks and pharmacies, if you need anything you can have it in a few minutes.
The apartment itself is very peaceful, it’s high up so noise from the street is minimal and I hardly heard people in other apartments so there’s no issues with being disturbed. It also has an excellent air conditioning unit so you will always be able to feel cool in Rio’s hot weather, however in the day the ceiling fans are usually all you need. It has blackout curtains so you can keep the place dark to sleep well and if you want to cook Flavia’s kitchen has just about everything. Whenever I messaged Flavia she responded rapidly, perfect communication.
