Sheila is WONDERFUL. She always responded super fast and was incredibly flexible. She was thoughtful and kind and gave me great recommendations for my stay in Río. As a single female traveler, I was so grateful to stay with her. It is a very safe part of the city and just a ten minute walk from Sugar Loaf Mountain. The view from the rooftop is to die for. I had the pool all to myself. It overlooks sugar loaf mountain, the bay, and Christ redeemer. Can’t be beat!
