Cynthia has a wonderful, spacious apartment in a secure doorman building that offers everything you need for a pleasant group stay in Rio - 3 decent size bedrooms with queen beds, 2 full bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, dining table, laundry in unit, AC, and private elevator. The location for the apartment is perfect. Close to Ipanema beach and lots of great restaurants, nightlife and shops around it. Cynthia was also extremely hospitable and advised us on where to go for dinner/out at night. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others in a heart beat!
