The apartment was great, as it looks like in the pictures and in a very convenient location. You can walk to the beach or the Lagoa. The building is very secure too. But the best of all was JOSE. He really took care of me since the beginning and went far and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. Among a lot of other things, he found me an affordable gym and a place to rent a wheelchair for my mom. If I have to go back to RIO, I will look for Jose.
