Nilza's apartment is well located, clean, and very comfortable. It's really just a short walk to the beach, grocery store, shopping, and bars. There is a private full bathroom in one of the bedrooms which was really convient for my mother-in-law who was staying with us. However, the best part of the stay was Nilza herself. She is very thoughtful and also very laid back. She offered us a lot of ammenities that most hosts do not. When we arrived she took us on a tour of the apartment and explained how everything worked. She answered all of our questions and provided us with a list of things to do in Rio (even if it rains), where to eat, etc. Amazingly, she left us a stocked refrigerator with cookies, wine, fruit, and more! Most importantly, Nilza is very accessible. She checked in on us frequently to make sure everything was going well and offered suggestions for what we might want to do that day. It was a great experience!
