The photos do not do this apartment justice. It is stunning! The location is in a very nice residential neighborhood with many bars, shops, and restaurants close by. The amenities in the building are fantastic as well with a floor boasting a sauna, steam room, shower facility, coffee shop area, stage, internet café area, playground, exercise room and indoor playground. The apartment is just a 10-15 minute walk to Copacabana Beach (don't worry there are electric scooters and bikes available everywhere if you don't care to walk)- and it was very safe with families and children walking even after dark. The parking was really easy and is on-site in a locked garage. We checked in with the security to pick-up and return the key. A few amenities that were not listed or obvious to us on the listing are the outdoor sink/fridge area on the patio- perfect for outdoor cocktails. Also, there is a washer/dryer combo on-site and the property actually has three bathrooms- one is behind the kitchen next to the laundry and utility sink area. Luiz checked in with us regularly during our stay to ensure we had access to everything we needed. Our kids loved the children's room- complete with slide out trundle bed with a board game/checker board built into the bed. The apartment pleased the younger, older, and hipper members of our group alike. If we return to Rio again, we will most certainly stay again- it was fantastic!
