Silvia is a great host even so I couldn´t meet her personally. She arranged everything with the neighbour who was very helpful as well. Our baggage did not arrive in the airport and we had a lot of trouble the first day and Silvia offered her help per telephone. The apartment was suitable for 3 persons, it was clean and in a perfect location close to the subway. I can recommend this to everybody who want´s to visit Rio de Janeiro.
