This is the perfect apartment to stay in Rio! It is ideally located across from a beautiful, uncrowded beach with the most incredible view of Rio from the apartment living room and rooftop. The area is safe. It is a 10 minute walk to Leblon where there are a variety of nice restaurants and shopping and a short Uber ride to other key locations in the city. The apartment is like a home away from home thanks to Antonio and Alvaro and their warm hospitality and sharing their knowledge about the city. Thank you Antonio for making my stay in Rio relaxed and comfortable! I look forward to visiting again.
