It was very convenient to stay at Guilherme’s apartment during carnaval week. The apartment is right next to the metro station and 2 blocks away from the beach. The area felt safe enough for a solo female traveler.
Guilherme and his family are also very friendly and helpful! They went beyond their way to make sure I was comfortable and gave me great restaurant tips.
The internet was strong and reliable to work from my room. There is hot water and good shower pressure. The ac and ceiling fan in the room was a lifesaver.
