Mercedes was an awesome host! The bedroom was accurately described in the listing and was clean and quaint. It was perfect for getting out and exploring Rio; not very big, but very livable as the 2 of us were out a majority of the time. The checkin was incredibly easy. We arrived late afternoon, but Mercedes had no problem meeting us promptly when we arrived at the front desk downstairs. She gave us a great tour of the grounds...breakfast upstairs, pool, views, etc. Then, she gave us great recommendations for things to do, places to go, and restaurants to eat at. Breakfast was provided each day and was mostly continental, but you could get eggs made to order. She consistently checked up on us via WhatsApp to make sure we were doing alright. Upon checkout, Mercedes made things very easy again...just had to leave keys on the table when we left. She truly was a "super-host" and, although we ran into a little bit of rain, ensured we had an enjoyable experience for our first time in Rio. Thank you. Mercedes!!
