As soon as I stepped into the apartment I was blown away by the view. It is an absolutely amazing view! Every day I had my morning coffee sitting by the window and enjoying the view. The apartment is exactly as it is on the pictures: very clean, modern, and very functional. The location is great; there is a bus stop right in front of the building and the metro station is one block away. There are very good restaurants and supermarkets close by. Flamengo beach is also very closed by and it is a great place for jogging and other recreation activities. Laura was always available and responded to my messages right away. Even though when she traveling, she had a friend to help if I needed anything. She is an amazing host!
