As other reviewers have said... it is better than the pictures. The details (things like a nice faucet or nice fridge) are things that make the stay more luxurious. The kitchen has everything you need. Beds are comfortable, and the showers are so pleasant. I’m very picky with cleanliness and it was sparkling clean. Cláudia was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We LOVED the quiet neighborhood and the location of the house. It’s close to yummy coffee, nice boutiques, and the best Açaí is on your way to the beach. We had to have it at least once a day. We planned on seeing more of Rio but the beach closest to the apartment was the perfect combo of amenities and a chill vibe, so we skipped out on some Rio for much-needed relaxing. It’s a great place for a family but also for some friends who want to chill and take in the beautiful culture of this city.
