I was trying to find place and most of them were far from the beach or the area I'm looking for till I found Esther's place. It's so clean and organized. You can find anything you want like if you were at your own house. Esther and her friend Daniela help me so much finding good places to visit by providing me a map, sometimes going with me biking around the city and playing beach tennis. They are so nice people and if I were to visit Rio again, I know whom to go to. I'll choose their place again. They allowed me to drop my luggages early in the morning because I arrived super early even though the check in time was at noon or afternoon.
They told me about the safe areas and helped me leaving to the airport. I was happy about all of it.
