When you read the description and old comments you always wonder what is true and what is false or exaggerated... Here, this is simple, no surprises, all you read is true: the apartment is very clean, well located, close to shops, close to transport and in a environment where you feel safe...

About Celia, she is super nice. She greeted us with a great breakfast, gave us lots of advice: where to go, or eat...
She explained us what are the different transports (and costs) to come to her apartment from the airport by email before our arrival.
She booked us a tour guide, a taxi to the airport at the end...
She learned us how to make caipirinha and zucos de maracuja !
It was a great meeting. She took care of us like our mother do !!!

We do not speak Portuguese but only French / Spanish / English, and Celia knows some words in Italian and Spanish. With that we were able to understand (well it was easier to understand than speaking Portuguese for us ;)). She makes big efforts to be understood : she speaks slowly and clearly, repeat if needed, repeat with other words, otherwise you can use google translate. In the end, we learned to say a few words in Portuguese. It is this difference in language that makes us feel really on vacation!
In the end, we do not regret our choice, it was better not to go to someone who speaks our mother tongue.

Mais uma vez, obrigado por tudo Celia.
