My brother and I would stay at this apartment again if we ever return to Rio. It was very comfortable for those who know how to take care of themselves (cook, clean, wash) because it is modern and well maintained. The location was perfect for those on a budget because the public transportation and local businesses are reasonable. Viviane supplied a great map and marked the places we might like to go. We used the WiFi to communicate with her on the internet and to translate web sites. It's on the third floor so we left the huge window open and the ceiling fan on except on the day it rained. The buses do not use R. Leopoldo Miguez so we slept very well on the comfortable bed. The people in the neighborhood were very nice, especially Viviane. She brought a chocolate cake for my birthday. Obrigado!!
