This big apartment has lots of light coming in from both the living room (large wall to wall window) and, surprisingly, the bedrooms in the back.
Everything is a little outdated but still functional. Both bathrooms have good showers with good water pressure.
We stayed there for a week, and we had to work remotely from the apartment during the day. The internet had good speed and was reliable.
We used the large living room dining table for our 'make-shift-workstations', which was comfortable to work throughout the day.
The kitchen was OK, but there were no proper cookware or utensils to do any cooking. This might not be an issue since the location is fantastic, with some of Rio's best restaurants within 5 minutes. One of our favourites, Zaza Bistro, is right across the street.
If you need to do laundry, the washing machine is easy to use, and there was some laundry detergent available. The 'work area' for that was spacious as well.
Pedro was an excellent host. We arrived late at night during a massive downpour, and he was there waiting to greet us.
This is a small building with very few residents. Sometimes there is a doorman to help, but the entrance is hassle-free.
