I am very grateful to Tânia, her mother Dora and her housekeeper, Sheila for making our stay at her apartment in Rio so special. The apartment itself surpassed our expectations- it is spacious, charming, tastefully decorated, clean and super well located, being just steps away from two subway stations (Catete and Largo do Marchado) as well as a short walk from Flamengo beach where there are beautiful views of Sugarloaf mountain. My friends and I felt very safe staying in that neighborhood and found everything we needed right by the apartment (grocery stores, pharmacies, etc). Tânia was always super responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. She was helpful and accommodating to our needs. I’d highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a beautiful home-away-from-home feel in Rio!
