The location was great and apartment was spacious which met our needs for 4 people. The hosts were very friendly and responsive when we needed assistance or had questions during our stay. They also provided us with recommendations nearby for very tasty restaurants nearby. We felt at home and comfortable during our stay and would definitely come back if we are in Rio. It's walking distance to some of the best shops and beaches in Rio and there are many locals in the area which made it feel less touristy.
