We arrived a whole day later as we missed our flight and Maria Regina was there to meet us very early in the morning and even welcomed us with some sweets which was very nice. The flat was clean and had everything listed - and everything we needed. The location is very good for those who don't mind a short walk to the underground and 10 minute walk to the beach. Every Wednesday there's a market on the corner of the street which has freshest veg and fruit - delicious! Safe neighbourhood, best beach in Rio, close to the underground - what else would one need?
