We stayed here last year, and everything about it was simply excellent. Which is why we wanted to stay here again on this year's visit.
The apartment is tidy, clean and the location is in the best part of Rio, in my opinion. It is near the Aterro park and the beach where I like to go jogging in the early morning. Also, Flamengo has lots of bars, restaurants and shopping. And the metro takes you to Copacabana, Ipanema or downtown within minutes.
Finally, Isabel and Carlos are sincere and welcoming hosts. I have mostly been in touch with Isabel. She is a charming, warm and helpful person.
