I live in Rio and had to stay out of mu apartment for some time when I found Rina's apartment. It couldn't be more perfect for my needs.
It's extremelly well located. A 10 min walking distance from the Bothanic Garden Park, and 5 min car distance to Leblon and Jardim Botanico neighborhoods.
You have also an easy way going to Rio's downtown as well as to Barra da Tijuca wich are the old and the new areas of the city.
The apartmemt itself is wonderfull. Very nicelly decorated, and with great quality stuff all over. From towels to glasses and plates, from the washing machine to the shower. All very well done.
Its been such a pleasure that my two weeks rent became one month and a half. And I felt all of the time like home.
I deeplu recomend it!!!
