The apartment was in Leme which is a great location within the city. It is within walking distance to the subway and equal distance to the beaches at Copacabana and Ipanema as well as to the center of the city. It was very clean and Caio was a great and accommodating host when it came to answering any questions we had.
Although the apartment was a one bedroom there was 3 of us who stayed there and there was enough room with the sofa in the living room. This was made even easier because the air conditioners in both rooms were brand new and kept the apartment very pleasant in the Rio heat.
I would definitely stay here again next time I am in Rio.
