Virginia accommodated our late arrival by leaving the key with the doorman, and left us a welcome note (and a rose) with wifi details. The apartment is well-located in (what feels like) a safe street with 24 hr security. The living room of the flat (shown in the main photo) is lovely. The rest of the flat is OK and relatively spacious, although it is poorly ventilated. It was very warm and humid when we were in Rio, and there are quite a few open vents in the flat that we could not close off, making the air con largely redundant. The air con is also very loud and blows directly onto the bed that you sleep in. Virginia allowed us to leave at 1pm on our final day, and to leave our bags downstairs with the doorman until 11pm, which was much appreciated.
