We had a brilliant stay, the apartment really is that cool & fun & quirky! More importantly for us it was a fantastic location, walking distance to Praia Vermelha, the beautiful Bem-te-vi walk, Påo de Açücar, Urca itself and Rio Sul shopping. It's a safe area and the building has very helpful doormen.
It's really a short drive to most things, beaches, Corcovado, Jardim Botanico...
On a practical level the apartment has everything you need. We did not get to meet Conor but his Mother in Law was lovely and so helpful if we needed anything.
Lastly to wake up and go to sleep with that view was truly the most amazing thing and we miss it. We will definitely stay again all being well next time we are in Rio.
Thanks!
