We decided to book Rejane an Mauro's place based on the photos and it's close location to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The listing exceeded our expectations. The view from the 17th floor is fantastic. The location was perfect, bed was comfortable and the place was clean. The complex is very safe, many security cameras and a 24hr doorman to let you through the gate. You will have no problem getting a taxi and their fares are inexpensive. The Metro and city buses are a five minute walk. If you like to walk, it is a safe and easy walk to the beach and shopping. When we arrived, the doorman gave us the key. Rejane dropped by and answered all our questions in English. She was very helpful and we could always contact her during our stay. This was our first trip to Rio and we stayed two weeks in condo. After a full day of activities, it was great to have such a nice place to relax and enjoy the view. The unit has a front door and back door. Each entrance has it's own elevator. There are only two apartments on the floor. When the elevator door opens on your floor, your entry door is only one step away. The kitchen served our needs. The fridge and range/oven worked fine. There is also a water filtration unit next to the coffee maker. We also used the washing machine. Bring a pair of binoculars and you can watch the boaters on the lagoon. Oh yes, we loved Rio and our airbnd rental overlooking the Lagoa and Ipanema. Would we stay here again? YES, YES, YES.
