THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!!
Top 10 reasons to stay here:
1. Location could NOT be better. Close to beach but also all sorts of great restaurants, easy to get around to other places in Rio
2. Apartment is super cool. Great decor, spacious, cool little deck.
3. Charles is an awesome host! checks in to make sure all ok. We had no problems but if we had I'm sure he would have been on it
4. The coffee machine - nespresso pods and all ready for use
5. Fast wifi, TV, movies
6. Arrive/leave whenever, no coordination, keys just w. the doorman
7. Booking is super easy. Charles is very very responsive on email
8. All amenities ready for you - shampoo, soap, clean towels etc.

OK that's 8:) -- I will definitely stay here again when back in Rio.
