Chris' apartment in Rio is perfectly located in the Centro/Lapa area, which is great for nightlife on the weekends and wandering around in the daytime. On the weekends, the area fills up with people dancing samba in the streets while sipping their caipirinhas. It's an ambiance you will get nowhere else!
The apartment is spacious and has all the amenities you would need. We stayed there for five nights and had a great time! We slept four people in one room (one double, two singles), two people in another room (two singles) and one person on a pull-out couch in the living room. This worked well, except for the fact that there is no AC in the living room and Rio can get very hot and humid.
Chris was super helpful and answered all our questions via WhatsApp. He even let us check in early and leave late for a very small fee. Overall, our stay was great! Would definitely stay here again!
