I stayed two weeks in Cesar's place while visiting my son and his family in Rio. The apartment is a very good value for being in the heart of Rio. There are many conveniences at your doorstep such as supermarkets, cafe's, pharmacies, etc. All of the amenities posted are there such as wifi, smart television, washing machine, a/c in the bedroom, etc..Do not expect anything glamorous, light bugs tend to visit but, if you're a modest traveler/person who prefers to put your money into sightseeing, great food and other fun activities, this is a good place for you (more of an adult friendly place). Cesar is a great communicator and keeps in touch to make sure everything is okay.
