I stayed in Virginia's apartment for around 2 weeks -02 till15th of July 2016 together with my boyfriend. From the beginning we knew that apartment a bit bigger than we needed, but the view from the living room and the location was very attractive for us. We totally enjoyed our staying. Virginia couldn't be there when we arrived, so we got the key from the doorman. But she was availiable on mob.phone in case we had any questions and responded quickly. The fact that the doorman was always there made feel us very safe. The distance to the beach, subway, cafes, restaurants, shops, bars, all the attractions and places of sightseeing is excellent. Everything in the flat worked good. We used the washing machine only once during our stay and I would like to mention that it was without drier (just in case someone will need it). The only one suggestion I would like to leave for Virginia is that it might be nice if she could renovate a bit the kitchen stuff (such as pans, towels, etc), because in my opinion it's a bit old. I would like to thank Virginia for her hospitality and would recommend this place for staying. Rio is definitely a great city to visit!
