If you are coming to Rio for whatever reason, you have to stay at this place. We stayed for 5 nights and we had the most amazing time here. The hosts are so friendly and responsive. This apartment is also like a dream come true and it has every single thing you could possibly need, including beach towels, games, guitar, lots of well-equipped TVs, and so much more. Plus the location is perfect as its only a few minutes walk to the beach and we stayed during carnaval and it was close to a couple of the blocos as well.
Overall, incredible place and would highly recommend. I can't wait to come back here!
