Valeria was a wonderful host. Leading up to my stay, she was in constant communication with me and addressed any concern I had. She met my friends and me at the apartment and let us leave our bags in the apartment even though we were early.

The apartment is exactly how it is pictured. For 3 girls, the apartment was very comfortable. It is also in a very safe neighborhood that is walking distance to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The 24-hour security was wonderful and held our bags for us on our last day in Rio.

I only have 2 cons regarding the apartment. I wish Valeria had a bigger trash can or more trash cans. We stayed for 5 days and the trash was over flowing. In addition, I wish we had our towels replaced at least once during our trip.

Overall, I recommend this apartment for your stay in Rio. You will not be disappointed!
