A wonderful 1-month stay. It is a rare find, world-class. Very spacious 1 br apartment in the heart of Flamengo, a middle class authentic Carioca suburb. Very safe area. All kind of shops, eateries and Smart Fit gym just downstairs. A front load washing machine with drier allows me to pack light with only a few T shirts and shorts. Aircon, TV/Netflix and shower works very well. Very friendly and helpful doormen. Comfortable bed. Have booked another 40 day stay in July-August!
