Such a beautiful space, you can really see the effort that has gone into designing every last detail of the interior - it’s no surprise the owners are architects!
The location is incredible, over viewing the pretty little Praia de Urca with a view of Christ the Redemptor from the window! Urca beach is small family beach which is very safe with calm waters for little ones to paddle or swim (though not all that clean of rubbish sadly), there’s also Praia Vermelha which is much cleaner within 20 min walking distance. Bar Urca is 10 min walk along the mureta (little wall) and well worth a visit to try some bacalhau and drink beers with the locals with an impressive view. There’s a handy supermarket just across the beach in less than 5 mins walk.
Great facilities in the apartment and a very well equipped kitchen with very new and high quality pans etc.
The hosts were really responsive and very helpful at check in and throughout. We had a fantastic stay here and we really didn’t want to leave this beautiful apartment in this tranquil neighbourhood of Rio. 100% recommend.
