Julio is an amazing host who went above and beyond to accommodate me when I decided to extend my stay by 30 days. The apartment is very clean and has everything you could need to cook, clean, and organize. The location is walking distance from three supermarkets, three drug stores, a bus station, and various restaurants.
The building is located in a gated community and is by far the most secure place I've ever stayed at (including my own house!)
I would highly recommend the apartment and would absolutely stay here again next time I'm in Rio!
