This apartment is located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, with grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and metro stations all within a short walk. We had 3 people sharing the apartment and were plenty comfortable. There was enough in the kitchen to do some cooking. The host was very responsive and accommodating to our needs, and helped make our time in Rio even better. The doormen for the building were great too. They helped us find a taxi with enough space to fit us and all of our luggage after we checked out. You can find large taxis just a short walk around the corner from where the apartment is located (search for "Taxi Farme" in Gmaps).
