This apartment is in an awesome location! Unfortunately we didn't meet the hosts because of an emergency so their mother let us in. The building has a 24 hour attendant so we felt very safe. The apartment has all the amenities you'd need for a vacation stay, and the 2 showers and washing machine make the stay even easier. If you're planning to spend significant time at the beach, do bring your own beach towels as there will be enough for showers only. Other than that, enjoy the direct views of both Sugarloaf and Christ the Reedemer and have a great time in Rio!
