I had a fabulous time in Rio. A large part of that experience was this apartment. This cozy unit is perfect for 1-2 people. The photos are an accurate depiction of the unit. I loved the aesthetic of the place. There are lovely nods to Indian culture throughout the unit. I particularly liked the artistic interpretation of the Buddha on one of the walls. All appliances in the unit function appropriately. The Internet is fast and reliable. The shower has a good water pressure.
The unit is housed in older building at the end of a street. Although there are two bars close to the apartment, the street is relatively quiet. The metro is 5 minute walk from the apartment and I used it often to travel throughout the city. The address was also easy for taxis to recognize.
I did not meet Gayatri in person, but she was very helpful throughout my stay. Any questions were answered promptly. For example, I mistakenly left the unit's keys in a taxi. She had a new set delivered a few hours later. I highly recommend this apartment!
