The apartment is perfect. The pics are totally accurate!! It is located in the middle of everything. The apartment has everything you need and more! It has been my best stay with airbnb. Harmony was the perfect host. We didn't have the chance to meet but she was always available! The beach is literally one block away. There is a supermarket around the corner, there is a bank, lots of souvenir stores, restaurants, eveything is at walking distance. The metro station is 4 blocks away. If you want to go safely to visit the Crist on Corcovado, the bilheteria is one block away. Buses depart from there and bring you back to the same spot. I totally recommend Harmony's apartment. If I go to Rio again I am renting her place again. I couldn't be more happy with my stay. Gracias Harmony por todos tus detalles!! Adoramos tu apartamento! Super obrigada!!
