From a towering 17th floor, you will have such a spectacular and unbelievable view of Rio and its ocean. The apartment was very clean and the washer was a great touch (because nobody wants to fly back home with dirty clothes!). The en-suite bedroom was wonderful for me although my travel buddy enjoyed the other bedroom because it was larger. The home has English television channels, which was helpful since we didn’t know a word of Portuguese! A book of suggested local restaurants and other places was provided. We chose the Gringo Cafe for our American style breakfast (that’s so American, I know). Anyway, this was a great place and I would love to stay again!
