The apartment is a beautifully furnished, upscale apartment in the Leme neighborhood (adjacent to Copacabana). It is very convenient -- only a block from the beach, and close to everything you need - restaurants, grocery stores, banks, and shops. The building is very secure because there is a doorman 24 hours a day, and it is very quiet because it is on the 8th floor.
The apartment is clean and spotless and was well equipped - the wifi and the television worked well. The kitchen was great and it had everything - coffee maker, blender, toaster oven, stove, oven, washing machine, and a large refrigerator-freezer. We used the kitchen for making breakfast and did a load of laundry. There are even beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers provided - what a nice surprise and perfect for a beach house.
The beds were very comfortable. The 2nd bedroom is a little bit small for 2 adults, but we managed and we got a good night's sleep.
Guilherme and Leonardo are great hosts - the communication was excellent. I would recommend their place to anyone who wants to come to Rio and be close to everything!
