Roberta's apartament has a great location, it lies very central both in Flamengo and in Rio in beautiful Rua Paissandú. There are a lot of shops and restaurants all around and you can get everything you need taking a short walk. It's only a few minutes walk to the nearest subway station, from there you can easily get both to the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema as well as to downtown Rio and the northern part of the city.
We stayed in the apartment for a period of 8 weeks, including my girlfriend's 9th month of pregnancy and the first 4 weeks following our daughter's birth.
The apartment itself is little older than we expected but spacious enough with its 2 bedrooms and separate living room and kitchen. It has all basic equipment for both short and longer stays, altough a new set of pots and pans would certainly
be useful. The parking spot in the building is very helpful if you're using a car. The building is kept very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
