Four of my friends and I rented the place during Carnival for a very reasonable price, considering the season and convenient location. The apartment itself is exactly as the photos depict: light and airy, well-appointed, roomy enough for six guests, and it offers an incredible view. We were thankful that there were two bathrooms to share amongst five girls. The beds were all comfortable, which was such a relief after sleeping on stiff hostel mattresses. The hammock added a cool vibe, and was frequently used for siestas. Livia was very organized and easy to contact prior to arrival, gave detailed instructions, and sent us an invaluable guest handbook to review in advance of our stay. Her neighbour, Cristina, was also lovely and helpful. Best of all, we arrived, tired and hungry, to a kitchen stocked with snacks and treats! Although we didn't get to meet her in person, Livia still managed to be an amazing host from a distance. Highly recommended!
