We would highly recommend Rodrigo's place. The location and views are amazing! You can see Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, and the beach, all from the balcony! Rodrigo was there to meet us in person and very quick to respond. The apartment itself is spacious, with great amenities and decorated nicely, but not so nice that you are not able to relax with the entire family and young kids. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Rio, we will try and book here again!
