Great for shorter stays in Rio! I was there with my boyfirend for about a month and a half and the apartment was comfortable, especially for the price which was quite affordable. The kitchen is a smaller size and there is no airconditioning in the living room (it seems this is pretty typical for the area we were in), but this makes it more ideal for someone who maybe is out all day during the day. The bedroom was nice and cool with a good air conditioner. Otherwise, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - lots of grocery stores walking distace, restaurants, and beaches were all extremely close! The internet connection was strong enough for both my boyfriend and I to be working from home.
