GREAT apartment! I spent a week there for the yearly Carnaval with 5 more friends. The place, well organized and equipped, was exactly what our group of 6 looked for. The air conditioning and wifi always functioned well. As cooking lovers we really liked the large kitchen. The location was terrific, not too loud during the day but yet close to the carnaval parties area. Metro station 2 minutes walking. Claudio, doorman and janitor was so nice to us and very helpful when we needed his assistance. Gautam really cared to see that we settled in perfectly and occasionally checked with us that everything is ok. Gautam was available to answer our questions almost by any time of the day. Loved it, loved Rio :)
