Silvia´s place is very well located in Rio de Janeiro. You're only a minute walk to the subway, Metro Glória, that can take you everywhere. The 24hour bakery, Confeitaria Santo Amaro, is always there to supply some food for you! On the other side of the street you have a great restaurant called Amarelinho that has a very diversed buffet with really good prices! Right in front of Amarelinho you find the starting point of two really useful bus lines 574 and 573. 574 takes all the way to LEBLON passng through COPACABANA and the 573 takes you to LEBLON passing through BAIXO GAVEA. Both buses are new, good air conditioning and really wide windows so you can go sightseeing the city.
Around Siliva´s place you stiill have LAPA, Aterro e praia do Flamengo. 6 reais taxi ride do Praça São Salvador, where you can chat, drink and listen to music with cariocas.
The place has a great size for a couple, fully equipped with eveything a house, or better saying a HOME needs!
Eventhough I didnt get to meet Silvia (only by phone) she seems to me a very interesting person. She has great books and movies, some about our brazilian culture!
LOVED IT!
Queria ser tua vizinha :)
