We had a great stay at Claudio's apartment. It was very well equipped with everything you would need for a longer stay. The apartment is close to a good supermarket and restaurants and only a block from the beach. It was quiet and comfortable. The porteiro, Luis, is very friendly and helpful as well, and Claudio was very kind to meet us very late to give us the keys as our flight arrived at 1 am. Highly recommend this apartment in Rio!
