Brunello was a terrific host who welcomed us and walked us through the entire apartment upon arrival. The location is great and easy to access the beach, the neighborhood and the rest of the city. There is a great supermarket 2.5 blocks away and terrific restaurants within a block or two in most any direction. The apartment is equipped nicely and has everything you need for your stay. There are cooking supplies, laundry, a great shower, air conditioning, and more. I'd stay here again when I return to Rio in the future. This is a perfect holiday stay for a couple or two good friends.
