Maria was responsive to communications pre and post arrivals. We took uber from GIG to the apt and the door guy let us in. Would be good to learn the 1-10 numbers in Portuguese to make things easier. Elizabeth, the sister, checked us in and gave a 'tour' of the apt. Everything matches the listing. We encountered a couple of issues like the bathroom sink and Elizabeth was quick to help. She also helped us made a reservation to a restaurant and kept our luggage post checking-in. She's a sweet lovely lady and we appreciate all the assistance she gave us.
The one thing we love about this stay is the hair dryer. It's not the travel size one but a normal size with strong power. There's fridge, kettle, blender in the small kitchen. It's everything we needed for the short 3 days. We used uber to go to anywhere as it's very affordable. There's a few supermarkets within 10 mins walk. Tons of restaurants nearby the boardwalk.
