Of all the apartments in which I have stayed in Rio (and there have been many), this was my favorite overall. The apartment is exactly as you see in the photo, well-decorated, well equipped and with just the right amount of space. The location is excellent. Even though is sit on a major street, the building sits back from the street so you don't get a lot of street noise but you are still just 1 block away from the beach and 1 to 2 blocks away from supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants of all kinds as well as shopping. I highly recommend this apartment and I plan on booking for my future trips as well.
