There are some places you stay for a few days and there are some places you don't want to leave and want to call home. This is one of those places in rio. Great location, secure building, 1 block away from the beach and a host that makes you feel at home and is available for anything you may need. Having the bedroom separated from the living area was such a cozy feeling and the bed was amazingly comfortable. 2 TV's in the apartment made the apartment so livable and functional I hope to stay here long term when I return.
