The accommodation is clean & comfortable and feels completely safe.
Vania is the real deal; welcoming, informed, and with impeccable English.
Urca is unique; like a small seaside town dropped into the best location in Rio... and, Carmen Miranda lived here! (Graham Norton should organise pilgrimages.)
“Negatives”? Well, the layout is not perfect and both the single bedroom and shower room would benefit from one or two minor, cosmetic jobs. But, overall, I was very happy. My rating should be 4.5+, pass with commendation.
