Chris' place was great! The location was perfect and close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. It was super close to hotels for tour pick ups which was important because we booked a few tours during our visit. Vivian was very helpful! It was noisy (traffic) at night but it wouldn't matter where you were as I think Rio is just a busy place in general! The only complaint we had was that we were only given one towel each and there was no hair dryer. Besides that, I'd totally recommend chris' place and would rent it again if I was to return to Rio one day! Thanks :)
