If you are going to Rio for the first time, this is the place to stay!!! The apartment is gorgeous, located in a very safe and beautiful location, a few minutes from the beach. You can find grocery stores, padarias, pubs, and restaurants, anything you need is very close, including the Christ redeemer and Sugar loaf mount (Pao de açucar) (only 20-25min away).
Moreover, Layza is the best host ever!! She is the most kind, caring, and committed host! During our stay, she was open to talking at any time, very patient and ready to help. I have no complaints at all! Don't think twice, just book this place and I promise you won't regret it! Enjoy Rio!!
