The pictures listed do not even begin to show the views this apartment as. This is top down one of the best views combined with the most beautiful apartment in all of Rio. We had friends over that have stayed in Rio their entire life and they were even amazed at the apartment and the view. If this home is not reserved for the time you want it then get it, staying here is an experience all it's own that no hotel can match. The only downside is the walk up from the main road, but uber is cheap, and renting a car is cheaper. Also if you run into Ilma the maid, ask her to cook for you. We asked her to make breakfast and lunch for us and told her to make what she would at home, it was amazing food. She is incredible sweet, trustworthy, and just a great person that made our stay that much better.
