First of all, this apartment is huge. There were eight of us, and with the four bedrooms, there was plenty of space for everyone. The apartment was also very safe. There is a doorman 24 hours a day to let you in, so we never felt like safety was an issue. The location is also good. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, Copacabana beach is only about 5 minutes away, and Ipanema beach is about 15 minutes away. We also took advantage of the washing machine and plenty of drying racks, which was great since we were in the middle of a long trip. Everything went smoothly with Diogo. Communication was good ahead of time, he was there to show us the apartment when we arrived by taxi from the airport, and he was available by phone the entire time we were there. We would definitely stay there if we visit Rio again.
