Cesar was a wonderful host and the apartment is in a great location. The views are breathtaking and you are in the center of everything. Great building and very safe. Cesar was wonderful and offered recommendations for places to eat and visit. The pictures don't do the view justice. You can see Christ the Redeemer from every window in the apartment. The outdoor space is perfect. Blocks from the beach. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone coming to Rio.
