An incredible place to stay in Rio! You won't find a better view.
Highlights include: waking up to the sunrise over the Sugarloaf Mountain, reading in a hammock on a private patio, and appreciating the street art on the cobblestone street.
The apartment has clean towels, blankets, basic toiletries, etc. Orlando was extremely responsive and made me feel right at home.
Despite being on a hill, it's easy to ascend or descend using the public mini buses or on the back of a motorcycle. The neighborhood is extremely safe and has a small market and bakery, so you don't need to go down the hill for every purchase.
I would 100% recommend this as a place to stay (just not when I'm in Rio!).
