I had an amazing time in Rio! The people working the front desk at the building were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything from scheduling taxis early in the morning to food recommendations. The penthouse for the most part looked as pictured- some of the furniture was different but it did not take away from the experience. The view from the balcony is unbelievable and is exactly as pictured. The location was good as it was close to everything (bars, supermarkets, restaurants, bus stations, etc...). Overall all, I had a great experience and enjoyed staying at Frank's home.
