Maria's apartment is a very nice and comfortable two-bedroom unit located in a doorman building. The apartment is a short 5min walk to the beach at Posto 4, and the area is filled with restaurants, pharmacies, gyms, banks, and anything else you might need. The apartment is clean, modern, and has all that one needs and expects in a short or long-term rental. I have rented the apartment on three different occasions for 80 to 90 days each, which indicates how comfortable I have become. The apartment even has an office space area with high-speed internet.
If you have the opportunity to rent the apartment, do so and thank yourself later. Maria is a gem and always available and had support staff to assist if an issue arose. The porters of the building are also very helpful, and Maria even arranged for a lovely cleaner to help with weekly household chores if one so desired.
