This apartment is a great investment. It is a great value for all of the amenities and space. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the pictures. My family of five people were really comfortable during their stay in the apartment. It is perfectly located in front of the metro and has pharmacies, grocery stores, and a ton of restaurants all around within a five minute walk. It also has an amazing view of the mountain. The rooms were cozy and my family was able to enjoy all of the amenities (laundry, kitchen, cable tv, etc) during their stay. The large living room and table gave us plenty of room to chat about our adventures in Rio.
Sandra was also a fantastic host. She would often check in to make sure everything was okay and was always willing to help if there was an issue/problem. The porteiros (doormen) were also very friendly and fun! I would, undoubtedly, rent this space again as it is such an amazing deal for the amount of space and amenities it provides.
