Amazing! Sandra is the ultimate host. She was extremely helpful in helping book a rental car, renting a bike and helping me find a gym.
The location is close to beaches ~10 minutes and to National Park of Tijuca. You can grab a cab right outside her door and easy access to public transportation right across the street.
In the terms of the apartment, you can't really go wrong. Beautiful and very well maintained with all the amenities you would need for a long term stay. I defiantly would recommend and will rebook in my return trip!
