This was an excellent option for staying in Rio de Janeiro. Chris was very accommodating and responsive to all of our questions and requests, and his coworker Vivian was so nice and helpful. The location was outstanding as well: centrally located, within easy walking distance of the beach, the metro, Copacabana and Ipanema. The actual apartment was furnished nicely, with good A/C, and we had all that we needed. Overall, great experience and I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to visit Rio, an amazing city & experience!
