The apartment is perfectly formed, with all the amenities we needed and more. Great shower, great bed and air conditioning. Fabio and Maiara were incredible hosts. They were both there at check-in, were so friendly and welcoming, were really quick responding to us and had lots of recommendations when we asked. The apartment is in a great central location, really close to two metro stops as well as supermarkets and shops. It was our first time in Rio so it was good to be close to public transport and supermarkets. The street itself is quiet, not too noisy, and we felt safe in the neighbourhood as there were always other people about. The flat is in a gated building with a doorman there 24/7. Flamengo beach was only a 5-10 minute walk too. We stayed over New Year's Eve and went to Copacabana beach for the fireworks, it was incredible and only a short ride away on the metro. Would definitely stay here again. Fabio and Maiara are lovely people and really really great hosts - thank you for a wonderful time!
