An absolute gem of location and apartment.
The apt is probably on one of the quietest streets in all of Rio de Janeiro. Besides that, you are one block from the hub of all of the restaurants. Some of our favorite restaurants or along the street Dias Ferreira. There’s also a supermarket half a block away to buy your bread in the morning and anything else you might want. The location is absolutely superb. The apartment is well decorated, modern and clean. There were a couple of issues with the water and shower when we arrived but Fabio was excellent in resolving them all.
You should note that this apartment faces the back meaning you sometimes listen to your neighbors. Not a big deal but not huge amount of privacy. A detail that I loved about the apartment is that the host has provided you with all of her best sheets, meaning it seems you might have her grandmother sheets which are percale with beautiful embroidery. It is touches like that that I think are so nice.
