Cristina is a very helpful and friendly host, she arranged for an early check-in and also allowed a late check-out. The apartment is phantastic: Very spacious and quiet with 2 bedrooms and a large living, kitchen, bathroom and an extra WC, nicely furnished and it has TV and WiFi. The apartment is ideally located in an alley with huge trees, 5 min. walking from Flamengo beach in a safe area in a guarded building close to a metro station, supermarket and restaurants nearby. An excellent choice, we enjoyed it very much and would certainly stay there again if returning to Rio.
