Just arrived home after a two week stay in Brazil. We spent 5 days in Rio and stayed in this wonderful apartment right on the best section of the beach. Location, Location, Location is its biggest draw. It did not disappoint. Views!! Convenient!! Steps to the beach. Close to everything needed. We walked to everywhere, even to and around the Lagoon. Check-in was easy and doormen were very helpful and kind. Communication with Paola was aways available, and she got us a great price on taxis to the airport. We could have used an extra blanket for the couch, but that was about all we found we needed in the apartment. Truly a "home away from home" for us. We had an amazing time in Rio, and much of that was due to this wonderful apartment. The hammock was a big draw for our grandson. What fun!! Thanks for making this "home" available for our use.
