This apartment is a great place to stay if you plan to visit Rio. It is very close to the beach (3 blocks) and also a central location to all of the other major landmarks of Rio (Christo Redentor, Sugarloaf mountain, etc.). Marcelo was very helpful in recommending things to do and places to eat, he was very flexible with our arrival time, and showed us basics of the apartment and where to find things. The ammenities were great, and the room was a good space for a group trip. Would definitely recommending staying here if you visit Rio!
