The apartment was in good shape. Everything clean and everything that you need for a comfortable stay.
For location, if you want to stay in Barra da Tijuca, this is a good place to stay, just two blocks from the famous Rio Design Mall and other two small shopping malls: Millennium and Novo Leblon, where you can find really good restaurants.
Rodrigo is an excellent host. Was waiting for us at the condominium gate the day of our arrival and took us to the apartment, giving the detailed needed on how to operate all the equipment in the apartment.
We stayed for a month and Rodrigo was checking up on us all the time to be sure that everything was going Ok.
If you would like to stay in Barra, I strongly recommend you to stay at this apartment.
