Aline's mother checked me in and was very very lovely, speaking a bit of English, and a bit of Portuguese. The first thing i noticed when i walked in was the amazing natural light and how clean the apartment was in every room.
The apartment itself is very well-situated, really close to the beach and loads of shops/supermarkets in Copacabana. I would say generally the area is alright but it does feel a bit sketchy sometimes (welcome to Rio).
Slept like an absolute dream here, would 100% book again thanks a lot!
