We really enjoyed our stay. I know Rio evry well, and also Vidigal, so I felt a bit like home. It might be a bit unusual for the typical tourist, but it is the authentic Rio with a fantastic view and local people. I loved it. The view is amazing, we woke up to the sunrise which was mind blowing. and to the right there is lush tropical jungle, so lots of beautiful sounds too. the apartment was really clean.
