Denise is a wonderful host! We had a really great time there. Location is great, very close to the beach (2 blocks) and close to many restaurants and shops (generally within 4 blocks). Uber to sugar mountain and Estacao cost about 20-30 reals. Room itself is a bit small but was clean and had a private clean bathroom and charger/power adapter saved our life! Big closet and AC. Denise was extremely patient and super nice, helped us get around the neighborhood by giving us names of places or streets in Portuguese and offered many helpful advice and recommendations. Overall an extremely helpful and lovely lady. Would love to come back if we were in Rio again. Thank you Denise!
