If you want a quiet, clean apartment, in a safe area, then this is the place to book. Navigating the sheer size of Sao Paulo, before visiting Rio, had left my girlfriend and I feeling a bit drained. Upon arrival at the apartment, Silvia provided us with maps, entertainment guides, and other helpful information to help us enjoy our short stay in Rio. She is a great host, very upbeat and charming. The only regret that we have is that we couldn't stay longer. Muito obrigado, Silvia.
