A great quite location with an amazing view of the ocean.
My wife and I traveled from Canada for a working vacation for her to visit her parents in the city and decided to have a small stay in Barra while we were here.
The host Venetia was very accommodating when we wanted to add our niece to the reservation which meant the world to her.
We loved how the front of the apartment opened up to allow a magnificent view of the ocean which I very much enjoyed during the time I spent working.
The internet was sufficient enough for us to do what we needed to.
We really loved all the little snacks and drinks that were left for us on arrival.
Check-in was similar to the process or a hotel in Canada; requirement of Government issued ID (for the building front desk personal to verify) and signing temporary residence paperwork and building rules.
The only challenge I had was not so much with the rental but the language barrier as I do not speak Portuguese well aside from a few basic phrases. It definitely helped that my wife is a local of Rio.
I would highly suggest this space for anyone looking to spend time in Barra de Tijuca!
