Very nice place, exactly what I had hoped for and exactly as the pictures described. Rodriggo is a great host, always available on the phone whenever I had any questions, offering advice and guidance for my stay. The apartment is well stocked and Rodriggo has pretty much thought of everything. Cannot praise this place enough, if you are looking for a more centrally located apartment to get a real taste of Rio rather than just the touristy spots, Tijuca is the place to be and this apartment will exceed expectations. The facilities here are great with plenty of amenities. Shops are located nearby and a bus stop is right outside. I will miss the view from the balcony and the comfort of the apartment. Will definitely be booking again on my next visit.
