Francisco's penthouse was the perfect location to our first visit to Rio. Very safe building with doorman, very spacious and clean studio with gorgeous and huge terrace with almost 360 degree view of Rio including Corcovado, sugar loaf, Dois Irmaos and Ipanema beach. Hot water and A/C are provided and nights are quiet for a good rest. You have tons of great restaurants, supermarkets and shops for anything you may need and the best part of Ipanema beach is just one block away. Francisco was really gracious and gave us all the information we needed to make the most of our stay. Rio is one of my top destinations with the perfect combination of beach, city and nature. Thanks Francisco for the unforgettable experience
