Steve's apartment was perfect for us. It has everything you need and is in a perfect position across the road from the beach and close to restaurants and Sugar loaf Mountain. The neighborhood is one of the most beautiful in Rio and is safe to walk around even after dark. We felt very at home and the breakfast is a special bonus. Steve is easy to talk to and is a font of information. We would recommend this accommodation to everyone without reserve. Another added bonus is Steve's rescue dog Fish, who is great company when you are missing your own puppy at home.
