The accommodation is exactly as described and photographed. It was the perfect place to stay fora group of friends visiting Rio for the Paralympics. The apartment was comfortable and suited our needs, with the building's additional facilities as a bonus. The location was absolutely fantastic. It was close to the beach and easy to travel anywhere that we liked. We felt very safe in this neighbourhood and would come back in a heartbeat. Vania was a fantastic host. We had one issue with the air-con and it was resolved very quickly. We thank Vania for her hospitality and help with anything we needed. I highly recommend this apartment as a place to stay.
