Raquel & Léa’s apartment had everything we needed for a 1-week stay in Rio. The location is excellent: 5-min walk to the beach, in front of the metro station, lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Léa was a great host, always available to answer any questions that came up during our stay. There can be some street noise, so if that bothers you at night / early morning, bring some ear plugs.
