Had a fabulous experience at Cristina's apartment, having just finished our 4 day stay yesterday. The location is perfect, the apartment was spacious and had everything we (2 couples) needed. As other reviewers have mentioned, Cristina (along with Marina and Charlotte) go above and beyond in their hospitality, leaving coffee, milk, snacks and chocolates for us at arrival, and giving tips for navigating the building and neighborhood. Cristina readily shared with us various ways to contact her and the others and we found everyone to be very communicative. Additionally, we had a late afternoon flight home and Cristina was gracious enough to allow us to leave our suitcases at the apartment past check-out so that we could enjoy a few more precious hours in Rio! I would absolutely stay here again.
