wow. Just wow. This was the definition of a perfect stay. The truth is, our trip to Rio would not have been the same, if we stayed elsewhere. The apartment is gorgeous (very classily decorated) and it felt like staying at a design hotel. The view truly is spectacular and the photos really don't do it any justice. The fact that the beach is literally 100 footsteps away from the door of the apartment is unbeatable. The place might seem pricey but it's only when you realize what you are getting for your money, that you realize this is an incredible bargain. Ricardo was super flexible, and was available within minutes (no exaggeration) whenever we asked him anything (via whatsapp or email). I felt at home before I even landed in Rio and that is purely because of my interactions with him. I'll definitely be staying again (I travel to Rio 4 times per year for work). Impeccable!
