I’m front Rio, so I’d recommend the location. The place is a good cost benefit. Minutes (walking distance) from best shopping centers and from Leblon beach, area is also well served by great restaurants and bars, supermarkets, etc it is well connected in terms of public transportation. Clean, quality bed lines and towels, apartment is simple but has all the basic appliances. Raphael’s service (he works with Paola) was outstanding, very responsive, super kind person. Electric shower, not ideal but ok. High floor with no safety nets on the windows, so not recommended for small children. A great option to be in one of the best neighborhoods in town at an affordable price.
