I loved the apartment and surroundings! The apartment is super well equipped. It is very close to the beach, posto 10. It is a 10 minutes walk in the wonderful neighborhood. On our way to the beach we chose to go through the green corridor where the children had a lot of fun watching the crocodiles , beautiful birds, butterflies, capivaras. The location is great! It is close to the pharmacy, bakery, nice restaurants, play parks for the kids. It is a short drive from the Park Nacional da Prainha. If you are driving, it is a short drive to more recluse beaches. We had a wonderful vacation in Recreio! The beach was clean, the weather perfect, the water translucid and in a good temperature. Vitoria is the sweetest! She helped us when we arrived, when my son got sick , giving advise and arranging transportation to the doctor’s emergency. Everything was perfect!
