This was the second time we stayed at Denise's apartment. She was ever so accommodating to our requests! We were lucky to meet her in person and she's as nice in person as she is during our text exchange.
The location is awesome, having all you need around: supermarkets, pharmacie, different stores, metro, taxi, walking distance to the Sugar Loaf and Botafogo Praia Shopping where you can eat with a great view from the 8th floor.
The parking space is small but we had rented a small car, so it fit our needs.
The apartment has all you need to cook, wash your cloths and have a great time in the balcony.
The area does have a lot of homeless or beggars but that's Rio in general.
We are very satisfied with our stay and hopefully we will be able to come back soon!
I totally recommend Denise's apartment!
