WE are a Family with 2 small Kids and Rio was our first station on our trip. We arrived and Lisiene and her family were very nice and we enjoyed the warm welcome. The Apartment is amazing specially the view from the beautiful terasse. Getting to Ipanema or in the Center is very easy, the busstop is in front of the Sheraton (4 minutes walking distance). Further the area is safe. We can highly recommend the Place.
