We loved our stay in Maria's apartment! From the moment we booked to the moment we checked out, everything was great. Maria was easy to communicate with, even though we don't speak Portuguese. She gave up advice before arriving and met us at the apartment building reception to let us in and show us around the apartment. There was a bowl of food snacks on our arrival which was a pleasnat surprise. Although we didn't eat most of it because we're vegan, it was an extremely lovely touch. The apartment itself was clean and had all the mod-cons we needed for a wonderful stay. The location in Flamengo was great for us too! Maria's hospitality was truly outstanding! We highly recommend her apartment to future guests. Thank you Maria!
