Ana is truly a super host! The view of the ocean was spectacular from her home. Her home is beautiful and withing walking distance to several beaches. Ana has all the amenities you would need for a comfortable stay, such as wifi, clothes washer, air conditioning, gas stove, refrigerator, cooking utensils, TV , even a chromecast which we used. Ana is also a tour guide and we went on her tour of the Vidigal Favela, which was amazing and quite fun. The views were truly spectacular.
Ana also helped us with joining a WhatsApp group as the best way to get local taxis. The area of her home is quite safe. There is usually police stationed close on the street below.
Ours was a great stay and we would highly recommend staying at her house. Next time we are in Rio we will try and book our next stay with Ana again.
