Our stay at Jaline's was fantastic! We decided to extend our stay in Rio and needed a place for the extra nights. With only a day notice, Jaline was quick to respond and wonderfully communicative. She even granted us a late checkout, as I had an evening flight back to the states. She met us at the apartment upon arrival and departure and gave us some awesome restaurant and bar recommendations.
The apartment itself is wonderful. Perfect for two (or one) and we loved the separation of the bedroom, allowing for privacy if one of us woke up early. The apartment is well stocked with the essentials, and even a few beverages in the fridge and coffee (very important to us!). The view out of the bedroom is stunning and the location can't be beat. You're a block from the beach, a block from great restaurants and the bus to Christ the Redeemer. A quick cab ride to Sugarloaf Mountain and close to the subway.
If I ever end up back in Rio, I'll be sure to see if Jaline's apt is available.
