We had a fantastic time for 4 nights in the appartement from Patricia and Mik who are really gorgeous. They told us a lot of informations about Rio and there was also a self made guidebook for use. Like descriped there is such a beautiful view with nice furniture, beautiful decorated and very clean. Mik built almoust everything included furniture in this appartement by himself. Because the house is a bit further up from Rio, mostly we get around by uber, which worked well and was cheap. You could also walk and take the bus, which we tried and worked also. We defenitly recommand this place for anyone who like to live in a quiete area in a beautiful appartement with nice hosts. Best wishes from Switzerland
