Carolina did a wonderful job to set everything up and help send directions on how to get around before we arrive. The front desk was also very helpful and kind to let us leave bags with them for late check out.

The location of the apartment is wonderful if you want to be close to a beach, transportation and feel safe when going out. But this is not a very exciting area in comparison to Lapa or other areas so it is a bit more calm and bit more expensive.

My boyfriend and I were a bit disappointed with the lack of essentials like hand soap/towels and safe which were included when we booked. Also when we booked the description said it had laundry but were caught off guard when it did not.

If you want a clean, helpful, safe area to stay in while in Rio I would recommend this apartment. There are lots of restaurants, shops and easy transportation near by.
