The apartment is recently redone and it's wonderfully decorated, very clean, and very comfortable. Leo, Archanjo, and Guilherme who is working with them are all extremely welcoming, warm and responsive. The apartment is just two blocks from the beach and walking distance from many wonderful restaurants, bars, cafes. It meets the expectations and the description of the place.
Leo and Archanjo have been extremely helpful and made themselves available to assist me while I was in Rio and had experienced some problems. Archanjo even accompanied me to assist me which was very kind. Leo's father picked me up at the airport and was also available for transfer back.
If you're traveling alone, or going as a couple, I really recommend this place for you.
