This place def lived up to my expectations! Very spacious and clean. The balcony is huge with a great view of the city. The pool on top level is amazing and private. It also has all the little things I wanted and needed. Good a/c and hot water. A real coffee maker (full size pot) and a 50" tv w netflix. Comfortable couches in living room and great table and lounges on balcony. Checking in and out was effortless and security was very helpful with my car rental parking as well. Having stayed in different parts of this city I will say the location is excellent. It borders Botafogo, and close to Urca but still very short walk to the beach. Mornings are quiet here! (A luxury in Rio) Supermercado and farmacia are only 2 blocks away. Very pleased with my stay and would highly recommend.
