Carla's place is great especially for a family with kids. The condo has all the greatest amenities of a resort so you really don't have to leave if you don't want to. The location is a bit of the path in Barra, but is very well known and a quick and cheap uber ride takes you to the beach and everywhere else. We had a lot of fun at the pool and cabanas, the restaurants outside the building a good and convenient, also a pharmacy and bakery right across the street. We will def stay here again on our next trip to Rio. The apt is spotless and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended.
