We (3 adults, one 3 year old) had a great stay in Luiza's apartment. She is a lovely, attentive and helpful host. The apartment is wonderfully located, one block back from the beach, half a block from (reputedly) Rio's best coffee shop and one block from great restaurants and shopping. The apartment was very clean and modern (albeit quite cosy!) The beds were very comfortable and the showers were amazing (good pressure and heaps of water). A supermarket just on the next block delivers for free and there is plenty of equipment if you feel like a night at home. The 25m lap pool and well equipped gym and common area downstairs made it easy to keep my holiday fitness commitments. There are also good washing facilities. Thanks Luiza!
