This was a perfect location for Rio, with good access to uptown, downtown and the beaches. The apartment was nicely furnished with all amenites, and the host very kindly left some fruit and basic things so that we could immediately feel at home. There are supermarkets and bakeries nearby. Ideally this is a place for two couples, although we squeezed 5 in, using a spare mattress. At the price it's a very good place to stay, and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed staying there
