This is one of the friendliest and most hospitable flats I have stayed in, Maria was there to help and to advise on the different local activities that were taking place during my visit. She was very quick to respond and made my stay very smooth and easy :)
The location is not in the touristy areas so you'll have a real Rio experience, and it is 20 minutes walk to the beautiful Santa Teresa and Lapa areas. Very close to the bus station if you're travelling from other cities by bus.
