A friend and I stayed at the apartment during the Olympics. Jean was extremely helpful and attentive in his communications – both prior to arriving as well as when we arrived in Rio. I couldn’t have asked for a better location – truly 5 minute or less walk to the beach and metro-station. I also arrived back to the apartment well after midnight on a couple of occasions and felt safe on the street outside and upon entering the building.

The apartment is ‘as advertised’ and was very comfortable for the 2 of us – 1 in each bedroom. From my perspective, the apartment would have remained comfortable up to 4 people (inclusive of 2 of the 4 being a couple), but after that it would have been tight. The internet/ wifi, cable TV and washing machine were fantastic and worked flawlessly.

The kitchen amenities were more than adequate for our purposes; however, if you wanted to cook some meals, there might be a couple of odds and ends missing.

Thank you to our host Jean, and I would definitely recommend this listing!
