My family and I stayed in Cristina's apartment during the Olympics and we had an amazing experience. The apartment is exactly how it looks in the pictures and is very well maintained, especially considering it is an old building. The kitchen is very big and is equipped with everything we needed to cook. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The wifi, TV and air conditioning all worked great as well. The doormen were helpful and friendly and Cristina was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything. The street is residential and is a busy road, but you are only about 2 blocks from the area of Flamengo with stores, restaurants, bars, grocery stores and pharmacies. The subway stop is less than 10 minutes walking and Aterro do Flamengo park is also about 10 minutes walking. The apartment is very quiet since it faces away from the street and there are no other apartments right across from it. We had an excellent experience staying here during the Olympics and I highly recommend this apartment and Cristina!
