My family and I loved our stay in Karla's unit! the building is monitored 24/7 by gate guards who are friendly and trustworthy individuals. Upon entering the unit some of the first things you notice are the clean quarters, a full kitchen, and an amazing view of the ocean. The unit features a nice sense of style and is furnished quite nicely making you feel like you are in a modern condo while giving the air of a tropical getaway at the same time. To help beat the tropic heat every room is equipped with its own personal AC unit that can be controlled remotely allowing guests to enjoy a brief respite from the harsh sun that hangs over Rio and a cool comfortable night sleep all at the temperature you desire. The kitchen is fully equipped for whatever light cooking you may wish to fulfill with a large refrigerator to keep anything you need cold and ready to drink. If you are worried about location look no further! The beach is across the street and plenty of great restaurants are only a short walk away with the gastronomy and culture section of the city being only a couple blocks away. To top it off Karla was a very kind and flexible host who is willing to work with you to make your stay at Rio de Janeiro as enjoyable and memorable as possible!
