I really recommend staying at Virginia and Thomas’, specially if you will be working from home. It was so so comfortable and never had a single problem with the WIFI; I felt like at home. The light coming through the huge sound-proof window was beautiful and always motivated me to go for a walk by the arpoador beach after work.
Maybe the furniture is not the most Instagram beautiful you’ve seen, but it is super practical and comfortable, so you can take your Instagram pics literally anywhere else in this beautiful city of Rio! 👻
Virginia was super responsive all the time, super kind, and Thomas, who welcomed me, was super clear about the rules of the apartment building and how to access it. Both speak fluent English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The apartment had everything you need, except for shampoo and soap. Worth asking them for it in advance, and I’m sure they wouldn’t have a problem having it for you.
The one thing I do have feedback on is that there are little red ants in the counter of the kitchen, so I had to be extra careful with not letting any kind of food around and clean right afterwards. Definitely not a deal breaker for me, as I normally ate outside anyways, but would recommend Virginia and Thomas to give it a look.
Thanks for your hospitality V and T! I had a great stay
