First, Ignez is great! I needed to change my stay a little and she was most helpful. My flight left Rio at 0500 and she allowed me to stay until I had to catch a cab in the middle of the night - even called one for me!
The apartment is compact, but sufficient. There were breakfast supplies and fresh fruit waiting for me. Nice touch. It's a one-block walk to the beach; how good is that! Busses run right out front making it easy to get to any tourist location you want. There's a washer, cable TV and strong Wi-Fi. It's a great little apartment.
