We stayed in Ines's house for 3 nights and this is definitely a wonderful experience!
The neighborhood is safe and interesting，supermarket is just minutes away from the house. Bus station is right in front of the supermarket, which can take you to basically everywhere in Rio.
Corcovado train station is just 15 minutes walking distance, and same for the metro station.
The apartment is beautifully decorated. Our room is vey clean with private bathroom attached.
Ines is super nice, funny and helpful, she shared a lot Brazil story and information with us, we really enjoy talking with her. We even took one day walking with her and her lovely friend to go around the centro!
We would love to come back and stay for longer time!
