I recently spent a week at Juliana's apartment in Rio and had an absolutely amazing experience! The apartment is directly across the street from a beautiful, tranquil beach and is conveniently located just down the street from lots of restaurants and shops. The apartment has an amazing view of the beach and surrounding area and is very comfortable to stay in for two people, or more. Everything I had read in the description was accurate, including the very nice kitchen, great WiFi, a washer/dryer machine, lovely balcony, etc.

The apartment is fantastic, but more importantly Juliana (and her husband) made me feel so welcome and at home that the experience was better than I could have imagined. They had some breakfast food ready for me when I arrived (amazing granola!) and showed me every aspect I needed to know about the apartment. I can't thank them enough for their hospitality! I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great experience in Rio and Barra da Tijuca!
