Cristina's apartment is excellent. It is in an old Art Deco building in a great location with a lovely terrace so it was nice to sit and have a glass of wine on an evening overlooking Copacabana beach.
It is spotlessly clean and I have no hesitation in recommending it as a place to stay in Rio.
Cristina was very welcoming and even though there were no issues with the apartment I feel sure she would have been very helpful if there were.
