This is such a gorgeous apartment! Comfortable, clean, safe, convenient for everything, and most of all the view is just spectacular, and two of the three bedrooms share it. The double glazed windows block traffic noise very well (& Olympics construction during our stay!), but also open easily; the a/c units are efficient, quiet and new. Paola was not in Rio when we stayed but was very responsive and gave us early check in after our horrendously early flight: life saver! Only small thing: a bit short on essentials (coffee filters, dish soap, a plug for the spa bath, sharp knife, salt...) but all was easily found at the Zona Sul and hardware store a block away. We loved our stay. Thank you!
