Adriana is a fantastic host and a very warm and welcoming person who made me feel at home at her place. She showed me around in her neighborhood which is easily accessible from the most important Rio sights by bus and metro and helped me out with whatever a non-Portuguese speaker would need - talked to taxi drivers, on the phone, gave me directions etc etc. There a many good restaurants and bars and I always felt safe coming home.
The apartment and my room with a big wardrobe were very clean and tastefully decorated. I had a great time in Rio and with Adriana who on top of all cooks a fantastic feijoada. If I come back to Rio, I would definitely stay with her again!
