This apartment was incredible. It is extremely clean with a great kitchen, family room and bedrooms. It is half a block from the most wonderful part of the beach. Every morning I could walk and take a swim where others were doing sports and enjoying the sunrise. It is a very safe part of Rio as well. My wife and I walked to restaurants at night and our children enjoyed the beach which is less crowded and with calmer waves than Ipanema beach. I am already looking to book next year for this apartment!
