The place was perfect for our needs in every way. We stayed there for more than 2 months, so we really got to know the place. A short walk to the beach for a daily swim; shops and ATM nearby; a beautiful bay window to spend your time looking down on the street. A bar across the way could get quite noisy, but they closed at 8pm, so it was all okay. Three rooms to chose from to sleep. Perfect place to fall in love with Rio! The apartment is very well equipped and it is run by an experienced host who evidently enjoys having guests, which always makes a huge difference. The host was always very communicative and responsive to any emerging needs or questions. Highly recommended. We will return for sure!
