We had a great visit in Rio! Luana's apartment was just as described and had great access to the beach and shops. It was also nice to have the 24 hour doorman. Please note, you do need to leave a copy of your passport with him, so best to bring it with you upon arrival. We had a difficulty with WiFi and the TV early on, but Luana had it fixed immediately. One note (more of an FYI), Luana's assistant did not speak much English so best to ask Luana questions prior to arrival.

Hope to come back again soon!
