I agree with the positive reviews preceding me. I am very very very very very satisfied. I am pleased to say I have found my Brasileiro "home away from home", after sampling a few other accommodations in Rio. I have booked the apto for the majority of the coming winter. I do not know if it was mentioned in other reviews, as I did not translate them all. But when you are there, look out the bedroom window to the manicured inner courtyard, a few steps down from the apto entrance ... a beautiful little tranquil oasis with tropical and subtropical flora and fauna, orchids in bloom on the larger trees. A great place to sit with your morning coffee or evening refreshments.
