What a gem of a place in Rio! Rustic, and cozy, and genuinely away from it all. The view of the ocean and garden trees outside the windows was lovely, as was sleeping to the sound of waves crashing on the granite below. A small oasis in Rio, a short Uber ride to everything and yet a world away.
The apartment was sufficiently equipped, clean, and comfortable. Monica is a wonderful host, and was always available if we needed anything.
