This was a WONDERFUL place to stay in Rio — the apartment is beautiful, and it truly feels like you are staying in a home - it is a unique apartment with a lot of charm and stylish decorations. The location couldn’t be better — you are right near the lagoon, which is great for running and walking in the morning, but you are still close to the beach and you have easy access to the metro. The little plaza in front of the building has a lot of charm and in the evening there is a food truck and sometimes live music. Erik and Sandro are wonderful hosts - really welcoming and very responsive. I can’t wait to return to Rio and stay here again.
