We loved our stay in Rio, Andrea's place was perfect in every way. The apartment made us feel at home, very comfortable, clean and tidy. We were few steps from the best beach in Rio - Barra beach. The building has lots of facilities downstairs: laundry, supermarket and the condominium bus that takes you direct into town. Andrea was a great host, she and her family were very helpful and went out of their way to accommodate all our needs. I definitely recommend this to those that want to enjoy Rio.
