Silvia was a wonderful host. We had a great time staying there. Silvia replied to all my questions before we arrived there. She even allowed me to do an early checking since my flight was arriving in the morning. The address on the page is accurate and we had no issues finding the apartment. The apartment is located on a busy street, just 2 blocks from the beach. There are a plenty of good restaurants, bars/pubs and grocery stores nearby. The apartment itself is very quiet since it's located on the other side of the street. One thing that I got to know after I reached there is you can see Christ, the redeemer from the bedroom window. We had a great time in Rio, and can't wait to visit Brazil again!
