Anna was very helpful in our pre-trip planning which was really reassuring for a first time trip to Rio. She also welcomed us to have coffee, eggs and tapioca pancakes on the first morn for breakfast and kindly gave us some milk. It's a lovely space in a great area and finished in a very stylish way. The kitchen and main living area is shared with whichever other guests are there at the time which can make for quite a sociable stay. We met a lovely Brazilian family visiting for the weekend. I think Anna would be the first to acknowledge that there are a few teething challenges - in a particularly intense storm there was water leakage and spray in the kitchen and we struggled a bit with hot water - but it sort of added to the charm and Anna is on the case to resolve such matters. Overrall a great stay.
