We stayed in Laura’s apartment for about 9 days. We really enjoyed the natural light in the living room as well as having a washing machine. The location was perfect, just a short walk to restaurants, bars, stores, and the beach. It’s close to General Osório metro station and a short Uber ride to anywhere else you want to be in Rio. One thing to note is that it was a bit noisy which didn’t bother us during the day but was kind of bothersome at night. The windows in both bedrooms don’t have a tight seal around them so a lot of sound comes in through the gaps. Other than that, we would totally stay here again given the location, the space, and overall value.
