Four of us, two couples, stayed here in January 2014. The penthouse apartment was perfect in every sense. The best location in Rio, two levels with living rooms and bathrooms on each level giving complete privacy to two couples, the friendly and always responsive owner, the pleasant maid, the stunning view, and the fact that we never had to call the care taker for anything ever once. This is the rare place where the apartment is even better than the pictures, and all the rave reviews are more than justified. It's a total treasure!
