We had a very pleasant 8 nights stay at Renato’s place. Fantastic views from the deck, great location ( if you are looking to get away from the main tourist areas) , many unspoiled beaches a short drive away at the Grumari park in addition to the beach in front of the building. The place is completely stacked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. ( cocktail shaker! Yesss!) Safe building with a friendly staff. Few good restaurants in the neighborhood and a supermarket a short walking distance. Would definitely come back.
