Heloisa and her darling gem of an apartment were exactly what we were looking for. I was immediately attracted to the bohemian style, bright colors and open air kitchen. The rooms were spacious and we always felt safe and cozy when not out at the beach, or out shopping, eating, etc. The style of this apartment reminds me of a little slice of San Diego or a beach house, just plopped in the middle of rio, a hop skip and a jump from the beach. The kitchen amenities were great, a water cooler, coffee maker, etc. Also, having 2 bathrooms is key for 3 women! Loved that! Aside from the spacious apartment, Heloisa herself is a very down to earth, warm person. I would trust her and endorse her place as a wonderful spot to stay any time! We already miss the character...oh and the sunsets on the beach (OUT OF THIS WORLD)!
