Roberta made us feel very welcome. She was there to greet us, and was able to help with any queries or problems that we had. The apartment was great full of character and as described in a safe friendly neighbourhood.
The two huge bedrooms were great, the third bedroom is located off the lounge with only a curtain to separate it from the lounge and was a bit noisy as this room had no double glazing, but that worked ok for us.
Kitchen and laundry room were well equipped.
We were very close to local shops which provided all the essentials we needed. Shopping centre, cafes bars and restaurants were a 10min walk away.
Local bus and taxi rank just outside the apartment.
Leblon beach 30min walk.
We were their for 14 days to watch my daughter compete in the Olympics and had the best time ever.
Staying in Roberta's place made it seem much more personal.
I would certainly recommend the apartment if your are looking for authentic Rio experience!
