Silvia and Daniel are great hosts, and are willing to go the extra mile to make you feel at home. The apartment is located at a prime and safe location, one block from the beach and a few steps from General Osorio Square, which hosts a number of different open markets though out the week. The “Feira Hippie” on Sundays is a must; it has great food and lovely arts and crafts. I would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Rio.
