Gratia was a fantastic host who offered her advice and regularly checked in with us to see how we were going. She made every effort to make us feel at home. Excellent facilities as the apartment is connected to the Mercure hotel which enabled us to use the pool, gym and restaurant. This was a great listing for us to explore the sights of Rio de Janeiro, close to metro line, bus stops, shops, restaurants and bars. We are really going to miss Rio!
