I contacted Dália at very short notice and I was glad that I did. I was affected by the recent Air France strike and had to overnight in Rio unexpectedly. I received confirmation from Dália at 1pm and was able to move in straightaway. The area is very convenient to the beach, nice walks, restaurants etc. As it is on the 8th floor, I found very quiet with the air conditioning turned on and windows closed. I slept very soundly. It is very easy to catch a taxi right outside the door. Although with some trepidation it would take longer but Dália insisted it wouldn't and sure enough, I was outside for less than 1 minute when an available taxi was available for me to flag down. I also discovered afterwards there is a very modern smart tv with netflix and a whole range of applications on it. I didn't have enough time to explore it but would be nice for a rainy day.
