Valeria's place was exactly what we needed in an unexpected extended stay in Rio. She was quick to respond and check-in/out was seamless. The place had just what two people needed: clean upon check in, simple accommodation, we relaxed on the balcony and was grateful for laundry in the building (limited hours). The location was great, just down the street from the beach, grocery, stores and bonus was the hippie market at public square. The building staff are very hospitable and keep the building safe and in order. Highly recommend!
