What a warm welcome we had when arriving in Rio! Evelyn was very hands on with me from the moment I booked her place. She called to give us key pointers once we landed in Rio, and Roberta made sure we had everything we needed as soon as we arrived at the apartment. The location is very quiet and well kept. If you want to stay away from the crowds/noise, but still be close to everything this is your spot! We felt safe and never had to look over our shoulders when walking around at night. Evelyn’s apartment is very neat, super clean, and extremely spacious! It was more than enough room for my family, and we were never in each other’s way. Each of the three bedrooms had plenty of closet space, and one has a tv with cable. Both bathrooms were good. One is bit smaller than the other, but my 6 foot son had no issues so it was good with us. The laundry area has a washer/dryer combo. There is an iron and beach chairs if you need them. Plenty of towels were provided, but I would suggest you bring your own wash clothes(if you’re like us we use the smaller wash clothes and I brought my own because I was prepared). Of course if you don’t mind using the hand towel size that’s up to you, it’s not a big deal. The kitchen has a nice stove, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, lots of dishes. So if you like to purchase groceries and cook on vacation you’ll have more than enough amenities to assist with that. If you have any thoughts on getting a rental car... DON’T! Evelyn made sure to let me know this in advance. Uber is your best way around and it’s cheap!! Don’t even worry yourself with trying to drive with the people of Rio! You won’t make it! Lol!! All and all my family and I had an amazing time in Rio. I would definitely stay with Evelyn again, and I’d suggest any of my friends to do the same.
