The apartment is cozy, absolutely clean and really has everything you need to have a great stay. The bed is comfortable, you have enough space to put your things and there even are a washing machine and a hot shower. The cooking space is tiny but still sufficient to cook some meals.
The location is perfect as well! It is close to the beach, a supermarket is just across the street and restaurants and shops are nearby too. Also it's just a 8 minutes-walk to get to the next metrostation and if you like to use the Itau bikes the next station is just around the corner. From the location you can also get fast to the sugar loaf, Ipanema and to the city centre.
The check-in was really good organised and friendly. The communication with Erica and her mother was also easy and they always answered really quick and had an answer to all of my questions.
I really enjoyed my time in Rio de Janeiro and can definitely recommend to stay in Erica's apartment.
