Andrea was very communicative and always responded within minutes. She also gave us some great tips and even provided a trustworthy taxi driver which we took full advance of.
The place had an amazing location just 1 block away from the ocean. Also there is a shopping mall and small market within a comfortable walking distance.
The apartment was very spacious and can easily fit 8 people (we were 5 in total so we were very comfortable). It’s equipped with ACs in all the rooms. The main problem for me was the outside noise. The apartment is on one of the main roads, and the rooms have very thin windows so you hear basically everything which can get annoying in the early hours of the morning. However I think eventually you get used to it.
All in all we had a lovely time in Río de Janeiro and would go back to Andrea’s apartment.
