This listing doesn't do it justice so I suggest you stop through other listings and book this place! :) The area this apartment is located in was the first thing I noticed as I strolled around after getting settled. There are Michellin star restaurants, high-quality gyms, and supermarkets that reminded me of Whole Foods back home in the US which I've missed! The quality of people and the cleanliness of the streets are very obvious as well. It felt soo good to go for walks and explore the neighborhood! Aside from the neighborhood being the best I've stayed in during my time in Rio, Virginia's place has THE BEST VIBE EVER! I'm so sensitive to energy which is why I sometimes book places for a minimum amount of days then decide to prolong my stay after I have an experience. Her place took the cake, seriously. The view of the Christ from both bedrooms and the living room is everything. I loved the windows which were practically floor to ceiling. It not only brought in so much light during the day but allowed for a spectacular view during nighttime and I was able to see the moon move across the sky for hours from the bed. Her apartment is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and felt so cool that I hardly ever had to turn on the AC. It's such a spacious apartment; with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a big living room, a fully stocked kitchen, an office space and decorated in the cutest way possible - it feels very much like home. There was even a meditation nook, my favorite part! She was always so quick to respond my messages and always super kind in the way she responded - something I prioritize in a host as well (kindness). It felt like home and was a bit difficult to leave and go somewhere else! Now that she's raised my standards in the most detailed way possible, I hope to find more amazing stays and hostesses like her!
