Our stay at Tania's apartment was wonderful. Everything was exactly as described and shown in the photos. We found the apartment to be very clean and well maintained with all of the supplies we could possibly need for our stay and Tania was kind enough to even leave us some coffee and delicious fruits. The location is great for a stay in Rio that's a little off the beaten path and absolutely brimming with old Rio charm that can not go unseen. The neighborhood is quiet and we always felt safe. Great restaurants nearby (be sure to check out Santa Teresa's Cafecito for lunch, their sandwiches are divine and Espírito Santa for wonderful food and charming ambiance). The views from the balcony are absolutely gorgeous. Tania was very warm and welcoming upon our arrival. She explained everything to us and even gave us some very welcomed insights into sites to see in the neighborhood. Overall I'd definitely recommend staying. This apartment works for long and short term stays and is very equipt for small groups. Thank you so much for making our stay in Rio so comfortable, Tania!
