We loved staying in the apartment. It was spotless and had everything we needed to enjoy a week in Rio. We especially appreciated: the bedroom A/C, big ceiling fan in the livingroom, washing machine, strong wifi, Netflix/Amazon Prime/HBO, comfy bed. The beach was only a two-minute walk away! The neighbourhood was beautiful with many stores and restaurants nearby. The famous Garota de Ipanema Restaurant was only 100 meters away. And the host was inviting and accommodating. Thank you!
