This is a great apartment. Location is perfect, convenient for the beach, shops, and buses around Rio. The apartment itself is really nice. Spacious and contemporary minimalistic chic. Jose was a great host, came to check up on us even though he has assistants. I would have given it 5 stars but the shower was pretty temperamental. but its an easy fix. other than that I loved my stay. Rio is a great city with so much to do, and it was always the cherry on the top of each day to come back to the apartment, it felt like a home away from home. Will definitely stay here again provided none books the dates i want..
