We stayed in the apartment whilst in Rio for the Olympics. The location is excellent; on the main street, minutes from the beach and easy access to the Metro. The security guards were extremely pleasant and were conscious of our whereabouts. We were pleasantly surprised by the addition of a TV and wifi. Access to the washing machine was much appreciated. A host was there to meet us on arrival and helped us to negotiate a taxi upon leaving. It was also great to have her contact details throughout the stay to be able to ask questions, etc. We would highly recommend this property.
