Highly recommended apartment, look no further! After doing a lot of research of where to stay in Rio, there were the obvious beach areas that were highly regarded. However we could not find a decent size, spacious apartments with beautiful views of the sea in Copacabana or Ipanema. Therefore we opted for the beautiful Urca penthouse that has such beautiful wrapped around views, you cannot find a better place to take your aperitif and enjoy the sunset. The concept of an open apartment is refreshing, with bathrooms all having different views. The decor of the apartment is fun and lively making the experience that much better, and has everything you need. Urca is a beautiful area with a couple of restaurants (highly recommend Bar Urca). We felt safe in the area and easy to travel to other parts of the city. Conor and Adriana were great, with quick response, good advice and fabulous family help. This apartment made our Christmas holiday an unforgettable one.
