I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Rio and staying in this apartment. The apartment is in such a great location. Every Sunday afternoon there is a market across from the apartment that sells local crafts and good gifts to take back home. The neighborhood is very safe and there are plenty of souvenir stores, restaurants, and grocery store's very close to the apartment. For me the highlight of staying in the apartment was relaxing on the Hammock every day. It's great being able to look out to the ocean from the balcony. A great view. The bed was comfortable, and once you figured out how to run the shower, it was as warm as you needed it to be. I think the air-conditioner needs to be replaced because it does not blow out cool air. Carolina was always very helpful and responded quickly to my messages before and during the stay. I would highly recommend her apartment.
