We had a great experience with a few things to note. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. The location is spectacular with walking distance to two amazing beaches (Ipanema and Copacabana), plus restaurants and amenities everywhere just a few steps away. The apartment is very spacious with a view of the ocean and ample room for the family. The furniture and decor are very simple and outdated, so if you want stylish beach furnishing this is not it. The building, as much of the buildings outside of the US, has narrow doors so if you have a monster stroller for the kids, you will have trouble getting up and down from the apartment without folding the stroller to get through the doors. But overall, we highly recommend the stay for anyone looking for a spacious (no fancy decor) apartment with the best location Rio has to offer.
