Maria gets a perfect score in the communication department. Even before arriving at the property we were showered with helpful and important information. Checkin process was seamless. Sergio is great. Location is superb, with high walk ability marks. You are a short walk from everything you could possibly need. The flat was inviting and cozy. It was clean upon arrival and all was easy to find. It sleeps four comfortably. Kitchen and bathroom were well-equipped. Water filter and jars provided ample supply of cold drinking water. Overall, Maria was most gracious, helpful and accommodating. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking a no-frills, enjoyable stay in beautiful Rio!
