I really enjoyed my stay. The apartment was exactly as described and the hostess gave me great recommendations on places to eat and visit. She was a life saver when it came to check out because my flight was delayed and I could have been out on the streets for hours before my flight took off. Everything that I needed was in walking distance and I felt very secure having someone monitoring the entrance and exit 24hrs every day. I will definitely try to get this place on my next visit to Rio!!
