I highly recommend this apartment. It was lovely, just like the pictures. Perfect location near bars, restaurants, a grocery store, and of course the beach. Jose was an amazing host! He took great care of us; he arranged airport transportation, refilled our drinking water, provided new linens in the middle of our stay, and was so friendly and helpful our whole stay.
Definitely stay here or any of Jose's apartments and you will be sure to have an amazing stay in rio.
