Fernanda is a great hostess, friendly, helpful and always available. As was her husband, always to help us out. It was a true pleasure to stay at her place, which was perfect for two people. It is close to the beach, with shops, cyber cafes and restaurants near by. And above all, it is quiet. We slept like angels :-) Another great advantage was that there was 24h internet at the flat, so we were online all the time (great if you want to do some research about places in Rio before you go out). We were also able to make phone calls (for free) to national and international fix and mobile numbers. We will definitely choose this place again if we plan to go back to Rio. We highly recommend Fernanda's flat. Have a great stay!!!
