I stayed at Rita's apartment with 2 others friends. Making the arrangements was so easy - Rita quickly answered my emails and was very helpful with our enquiries.
When we arrived we were met by Ramon (Rita's son) a really great guy who was very welcoming and made us feel we had made a good decision to stay.
The apartment is in an excellent location and has restaurants and the beach very close by.
As first time visitors to Rio we had read much about personal security and the like - we felt very secure in this apartment and area in general. I would stay here again for sure. Thanks Rita and Ramon.
