The apartment is located in Urca, a quiet neighbourhood that feels like a small town within Rio. Not to mention that it is located very close to Sugar Loaf, and my absolutely favourite place in the city - the Claudio Coutinho ou Hummingbird trail. The view is stunning!! The place is spacious, well kept, and full of travel mementos that make the palce feel like home. Finally, the hosts are superb, very kind, and accomodating. Highly recommended.
