We enjoyed our stay in Rio. Because we arrived in Rio so early in the morning we had to wait a few hours exploring the town. Vivian was so helpful in getting us in the apartment as soon as she could. She also cleaned the place as if it we her own. We had just about everythkng we needed to make dinner just about every night. We found a super market on the same street Francisco on the way to Ipanema beach. . It was worth the walk to buy our groceries. . And bring it bac in our back packs. The location of this place was great. I would stay here again. If you arrive at the airport after 6am.. . Go to the first floor on the arrivals and catch the bus to Copacabana. Just let your bus driver know where
you need to get off. The apartment is across tbe street fron the Peter Pan
park. The shopping was not the best. . Take a walk on the Impanema beach side. . Nice walk. . Also a couple of nice resturants to eat at such as the Astor.
