This place is fantastic, simply perfect. The safer neighbourhood in Rio, we've spent so much time around the flat, a small supermarket just around the corner good enough for essentials, Belmonte bar serving the best caipirinha in Rio (try the passionfruit and tangerine).
The flat is all you need, we had breakfast there everyday, with the windows open the the breeze and listening to the waves. You also can see the Christ from the main window. Walking distance to the sugar loaf.
Don't miss booking this place.
Also Rodrigo was brilliant, always available and very helpful. Brilliant host.
