Apartment was immaculate, well furnished (as described) and extremely well located 1 block from the beach and next to one of the coolest public squares (General Osorio Square) in Rio with a Festival/Art Market every sunday (the Hippie Market i think is the official name).
We also had a great time exploring the wonderful neighborhood with lots of great restaurants of all calibers and very nice nightlife too with both local bars and a some traditional Pubs mixed together. The Host (Carolina) was super responsive, we had a small problem connecting to the internet but was resolved in 5 minutes and she provided outstanding recommendations on things to do nearby... We had a great time and will definatly be visiting again!
