I definitely recommend this place. The check in was smooth and easy and the gentleman that checked us was warm, welcoming and thorough, he made the first step of getting in really smooth.
The apartment itself was super clean, well maintained, well styled, had bright sunlight, great wifi, really good pots and pans, and high quality knives. I work remotely and have Zoom meetings and live videos and I had no issues at all working. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were really nice too. This place is only about 4 blocks from the beach and well located for easy access to great restaurants and bars.
As a gay couple, specifically for us, this neighborhood felt safe and gay friendly.
I will definitely consider staying here again when I come back to Rio.
Thanks Bruno and Fernando!
