We had a great time in Rio. Renata was very accommodating with our arrival and departure. She was also very kind to allow us to add an additional person at the last minute even though the apartment really wasn't large enough for 4 people. The area where the apartment is located is very nice- just steps away from excellent restaurants, grocery stores and the best gelato I have ever had. It is walking distance from the beach a very nice shopping center and the metro station. There is a daily maid service and everything is clean.
There is 24 hour security at the front door. We felt very safe in the building and coming and going.
