I am pleased to recommend Perla as a great host, warm & kind, so pleasant to communicate, and so helpful at every step of my long stay. . a treasure of information about local culture, Perla even took on her time to help me with travel & banking arrangements.
I am truly grateful and will keep in touch!
The apartment is perfectly new & clean, conveniently furnushed, with smart use of the space, and very intimate feeling. From my bed I could enjoy the epic sunset view over the "2 Brothers" mountains. Location is ideal, within walking distance of all the places I came to love most in Rio... just 2 minutes down the road to Copa beach, and Arpaodor sunset rock, 5 mins to Ipanema beach. Metro station is also very close. Neighborhood is very safe, clean and friendly.. after a month everybody seem to know me by name. Lots of hip littles places to eat & drink (try the ceviche place next to Osorio bar), live music on the weekends, nice restaurants and sunday hippy fair on Osorio place (try the Bahia spicy crab cakes & jackfruit pie). I could literally try something totally new everyday of the week for a month. I am in love with the place and I will be back!
