The place is great, and Alice was a very nice host. It is a very well decorated apartment, had the charm of a quintessential Rio home. I really like the location: a short vike ride to the beach, a short walk to puc, and right in the middle of baixo Gavea, a great hangout spot. I really liked being there. Every Sunday and Thursday I could hear a faint sound from people chatting downstairs, but it didn't bother me.
