It's a nice apartment in a neighborhood with plenty of stores & restaurants - and only about a block from the beach! Plus, it's in a secure building with a 24h doorman and the manager is in the building as well, which made check-in/check-out a breeze.

What was even better was Valeria! She gave the *best* local advice on where to go, what to see, and where to eat while we were in Rio. She was absolutely wonderful and made our trip the best I've had in years.
