My husband and I stayed in this flat for six weeks and it was an amazing experience. The flat is really nice and modern and the view is impressive, waking up everyday to see the ocean is a privilege.
The neighbourhood is really pleasant and after a while you just feel at home. It has a lot of restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets nearby and plenty of other shops as well. You have public transportation just around the corner and 'pontos de táxi', as well.
Laura and her family were delightful and received us very well, they gave us advice about what to see and where to go and were always very helpful and friendly.
We truly recommend this place to stay in Rio de Janeiro if you want a nice, cosy, familiar experience. We don't have nothing negative to say about our experience there.
