If you are going to Rio for work or fun, this is a great place. It is centrally located, near the city Center, if you go for work, and just one block from the metro if you need to reach any other corner of the city. The place is perfect if you are traveling alone or with a significant other, and the view is absolutely gorgeous. If you ever wondered why Rio is known as the Marvelous City, just take a look out of Laura's apartment window. Laura was a great host, easy to reach, fast to respond and flexible. I would stay at Laura's apartment again, without a second thought.
