The apartment is extremely well located, close to the beach and also next to restaurants and supermarkets. If you want to spend a week in a safe and family friendly area of Rio de Janeiro this is the right spot. The apartment is very clean and with lots of natural light. Additionally, Denise was a great host helping us even with doctor´s recommendations when my daughter caught a nasty sinus and I needed to buy antibiotics. She was very helpful and always answered my questions immediately. Very nice experience.
