The apartment was so comfortable and had everything we needed to explore Rio! We made coffee every morning, had the luxury of air conditioning, went downstairs to get whatever we needed (drug store, bar, fresh fruit juice, etc.). We felt more like locals and loved that we were tucked away to have restful sleep when we were pooped from adventures. The beach was so close and made everything so convenient! We accidentally broke our key, but had the secondary option of the electronic locking system. Monica was very understanding when we had told her & so we made sure to help cover the costs for the locksmith. We couldn't have asked for a better Air BnB!!! Obrigada Monica!
