We highly recommend this place! The apartment was clean, safe, and well located. Renata is both professional and personable. We enjoyed our stay immensely. We traveled with an infant and was able to set up a crib in the entry (in essence we were able to make it into a two bedroom). The doormen were kind and helpful (when we arrived early they got in contact with Renata for us-- which was nice since we do not speak any Portuguese). Renata gave us some great food recommendations. A short walk from the apartment will bring you to the beach, numerous restaurants, and stores. Everything else (tourist attractions) is a short taxi ride away. Comfortable bed, necessities in the kitchen, hot shower, clean room, quiet apartment building (nice neighbors) and working AC. Would stay here again.
