I recently stayed for 34 days at Eugenio's apartment in Laranjeiras neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro.
It's a safe and family-friendly neighborhood that is only 3 stops away from Largo de Machado subway station, by bus.
The apartment is as described on Airbnb. It is located on the 13th floor of the building and far from the road. So, you will not be bothered by the traffic noise.
Neighbors are quiet and considerate and the condominium staff is helpful and friendly as well.
I really enjoyed my stay in Eugenio's apartment and will likely book it again if possible. Eugenio is very attentive to the needs of his guests. I enjoyed interacting with him.
Thank you Eugenio.
