This is a fabulous place to stay in Rio! The flat is as shown in the photos, beautiful, spacious, in good working order and very well equipped (there is even a washing machine and the piano was tuned!). The location is fantastic, with the metro, shops, restaurants, juice bars and of course the beach in easy walking distance. The neighbourhood felt safe and friendly, and the concierge service was excellent. Angela greeted us and had even bought some fruit and left essentials in the flat. It was very easy to arrange our arrival and hand-over at the end of our stay with her. We could not have chosen a better place for a first visit to Rio.
