Beautifully modern apartment thoughtfully modernized, This is on a quite street (for Rio) about 5 or 8 minute walk to the beach and very close to plenty of restaurants, grocery's and shopping. The building is secure with a 24x7 doorman. When we arrived the doorman did not hesitate to help with our luggage. What you see in the photos is what you get, plus an extra bathroom with shower off-of the kitchen. Everything functioned very well: Kitchen well equipped and modern; bathrooms clean and well lit; showers very good; air conditioning (living room and bedroom) very good and quite; TV and Internet very good (most foreign cable channels have English audio option). Everything for the bathrooms and kitchens were supplied, including washer/dryer. Ligia and I communicated in English, and she is a very responsive and pleasant host. I would not hesitate to stay here again if needed! This was a perfect apartment for our needs.
