I had an AMAZING time!!! Naruna and Pedro really have attention for detail, the apartment has everything you could need, like an iron, microwave, little beach backpack, umbrella, beach umbrella etc. They also made it even more welcoming with extras like providng some food, water, and juice in the kitchen to start out, lots of fresh fruit, and even chocolate!!!! :-) It is really beautiful to look out the window and see the view...and even tiny little monkeys playing in the trees down below!!!! It is very safe with a 24 hour doorman service in one of the best parts of Rio. It is literally a block from the beach and from the Fasano Hotel where the international rich & famous stay! So in addition to the unbeatable location, it is very quiet and calm in this top floor apartment. They themselves have traveled a lot and lived in Europe, so the apartment really seems to have everything a person might need to immediately feel at home! I can't wait to come back!!! They were very attentive and helpful and quick to respond for anything. A really top quality service and experience that I would recommend to anyone!
