I spent almost one week there in Rio in Silva s place. I was there with my parents. The flat is really well situated, one street from the Copacaba beach and closed to the tube station or other facilties. The street is crowned in the evening but it s not too noisy in the flat. We were suprised that it was so calm because it s a busy area. We slept very well.
I didn t meet Silvia because she is not living in Rio but she has a friend who is taking care of everything. It s Tania. So Tania welcomed us very nicely, she is a very warm person and she is not living far from the flat if you need anything. Silvia called me when we arrived to be sure that everything is fine.
SO I would really recomand this place, nice, clean, safe, well situated and nice people taking care of you!
