The flat was very clean, modern and newly renovated. Fabio was friendly and communicative. Gloria, the location is great for all types of holiday. I was in fact working most of the time but sightseeing also featured largely! The main thing about the flat is the incredible view of Gloria Marina, the Guanabara Bay, Flamengo aterro and Sugarloaf. The vast feira in the area on a Sunday is also a great event.
Fabio was a great host. Always communicative and helpful. The flat has been recently renovated with a high design spec. The view is unequalled compared to all flats i was looking at. Walking distance to Flamengo beach. The Gloria/Lapa neighbourhood is fascinating and very different from upscale Ipanema/ Copacabana - full of life, music and local vibrancy. Take advice if arriving on a Sunday because of the large feira (market) on the door step!
