My family and I visited Rio for the first time and Rodrigo's place was just perfect. Very spacious, clean, great views and comfy beds. The apartment was very close to the beach, tons of different restaurants and stores for all your needs. Our group included all women and we felt very comfortable walking about in a group or alone. I appreciated that there was a doorman, the added security made us feel even more safe even though the neighborhood felt pretty safe in general. Definitely recommend!
