Rio is a beautiful city and I was happy that I found this well situated apartment. Sonia is a wonderful and warm "carioca" who lives and loves life. On my first day, she took me on a walk to get acquainted with the surroundings, the supermarket and bank, etc. and also introduced me to some of the local food treats.
Her penthouse apartment is in a great safe location, lots of places to eat, close to Copacabana beach and also the metro (subway) which goes to Botafogo, the "centro" and also Maracana stadium and other convenient stops.
I felt at home in the apartment and with Sonia and was sad to leave. But I know I will be back when I visit Rio and my friend Sonia again!
