I cannot emphasize enough the great experience my friends and I had in this condo during Carnaval. Valerie and her husband Alex greeted us with open arms. They both gave us recommendations on where to go and what places to avoid. Both were extremely accommodating during our stay and were always on alert if anything was needed. They inclusively gave me a pair of Havaianas sandals as a birthday gift. The photographs on the website do not justify in how the condo looks. The place is very clean, modern, and comfortable. It has everything you will ever need during your stay. In addition, the upstairs terrace is incredible! You can lay-out, hang-out, or simply take a shower to cool off. Thank you Valerie and Alex for making our first Rio experience memorable and comfortable. I hope to see you both very soon. Obrigados.
