We enjoyed out stay in Rio in Adriana's apartment. The apartment was smaller than expected from the pictures, but adequate for our purposes, since we didn't spend much time there. The big window opened onto a back gardened patio area. It was quiet and seemed safe, with a 24 hr doorman (no english spoken). The location was great , especially for walking access to both Copacobana and Ipanema beaches and the scenic Aprador rocky point. Adrianna was communicative and helpful, offering assistance in arranging services, advise, money exchange etc. There was lots of travel information in the apartment.
