My trip to Rio couldn't have ended any better! Rita was the icing on the cake. She was the most wonderful host! She welcomed me into her home and into her family. I met her beautiful grand daughter, her daughter and her son-in law. She went the extra mile by making sure I knew exactly how to get places, and how to return. She drove me to the bus stop and to the grocery store. We communicated very well despite the language barrier. I was sick and she gave me ginger cough drops, and she always checked in. When I was leaving she organized an uber for me and helped me with my luggage. I would recommend Rita's apartment to anyone. She is a gracious and kind host, and the location is perfect for someone who wants independence and easy access to Copacabana, the beach, the malls, Christ's Church etc. I felt so safe and so relaxed. It felt like my home away from home!
Thank you Rita and family for a lovely experience! I will see you when I am back!
