Our five day stay in Rio at Gayatri's apartment was very nice. The apartment is located in a safe neighborhood, quite close to a big road but still quite enough in the night to sleep well. It is very well connected with the metro minutes away. The apartment is one room and a small kitchen, very clean and very well arranged and decorated. There is supermarket, bars and dinner places in the neighborhood which are open till late. We met Gayatri on check-out. She and her co-host Angela, who waited until 1 am for our late check-in, have been very communicative prior to and throughout our stay. We were very happy with this accommodation.
