Love this place! I was there a month. Spacious and comfortable, with just about everything I needed to make a home away from home in Rio. Ro is a great host, and the building staff are friendly and helpful. The garage is a bonus if you have a car (I didn’t) or a bike, and there are two bikeshare stations, one on either side of the building. Easy walk to Urca and Praia Vermelha (entrance to Pão de Açucar). And a good central location for longer excursions. I was worried that the lack of air conditioning would be an issue for me, but the apartment is shaded and stayed cool throughout my stay. Oscillating fans were all I needed on warm days. Bed was comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. I wish I could have stayed longer!
