Livia's flat was great for our week in Rio and more than big enough for our group of 3. It's well furnished throughout including the kitchen and we even found some basics in the fridge and larder!
The flat is located just a few minutes from the beach and very close to metro and bus stops. There are plenty of stores and eateries nearby also.
Livia was a really helpful host throughout and very responsive to any questions we had. Her guide to the flat and local area was very useful and her neighbour Cristina also offered some helpful tips and suggestions.
Definitely recommend this apartment! And the view of the Cristo is equally breathtaking first thing in the morning and at night!
