This is a lovely place up on a quiet residential street. Non touristy location and we enjoyed the outdoor space. There's a decent climb either way up the hill/stairs but it isn't bad at all and is well connected to public transit options. No TV and no aircon if those are must haves for you but wifi was fine and tall ceilings with fans, nice breeze and wooden shutters worked great for us. We look forward to returning again when we can get back to Rio. Good supermarket options, a fruit/veggie market and a great street food market nearby. Functional kitchen made breakfast and dinner easy for us. Lots of nearby parks if you have little ones.

Nous recommandons l'apartement et le quartier, un coin moins connu mais tres sympa.

A gente foi bem recebido e a casinha e muito confortavel. Voltaremos!

Your hosts also are native speakers of Portuguese and French and I'm sure their English is also quite good. Eles falam Portugues, Frances e Ingles. Ils parlent les Francais, Portugues et l'Anglais.

NB: For those wondering, security is fine, there's even a nightwatchman for the street. Pas de problem pour la securite. Nao existe problema com sequridade, tem vigilancia no final da rua (posto) de noite.
