Great location in the heart of Roma Norte, just off the Plaza Rio de Janeiro, where you can enjoy seeing packs of local dogs being walked in the plaza. Close to many cafes, shops, and restaurants. The area is fairly quiet at night, so this is a great location if you want to be in this trendy area but also enjoy peace and quiet when you come back at night.

The studio apartment is just as pictured. Probably better for a solo traveler, as the sleeping space in the loft is a twin mattress and would be very tight for two. And you need to climb an iron ladder to access it, so this place isn't for you if you get up in the night. There is plenty of storage space inside the apartment if you like to unpack. Everything was very clean and seemed new.

I didn't meet Mariana, but she arranged for her friend to greet me on arrival. My flight was over 3 hours late and I didn't arrive until after 11pm, so special thanks to her friend for being there. Mariana was very easy to communicate with and was in touch before and during my stay.

Thank you Mariana!
