Rafaella was such a great host! She was very responsive and happily answered a lot of questions we had as first time visitors in rio. The apartment is great, clean, and very well located. There is a lot to do in the neighborhood such as breakfast, restaurants, juice bars, bossa nova, all walking distance. Rafaella gave us some recommendations which we tried and loved. Would definitely recommend this apartment! Thank you Rafaella, we had a great time in rio!
