We had a wonderful stay in Rio in large part due to location and comfort of this apartment! Thea & Gui were responsive and caring hosts, from answering every minor question to recommending places to eat near the apartment, we could always rely on their quick response. Location was absolutely perfect, few blocks from the beach and shopping, surrounded by great restaurants. An uber ride away from any tourist destinations. I would comeback in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Rio!
