Carina's place is excellent for anyone visiting Rio. The location is exceptional, right in front of Sao Conrado beach (a much less crowded option popular with locals who live in the neighborhood). The apartment was very comfortable for 4 people, with two well appointed bedrooms (with their own bathrooms) and a powder room in the living room. The kitchen is functional and stocked. The building staff were all excellent and easy to deal with (although having a local who can speak Portuguese is helpful). Carnia was great to deal with and very attentive. Would recommend her place to anyone looking to enjoy Rio!
