This is a great place! I was afraid the location might be too far from the center, but it is easy to walk just about everywhere from here. I especially enjoyed the nearby Bom Successo Market and grocery store next door, the Casa da Musica, and the Paladin de Cristal gardens. The condo has been completely updated and has everything you could need. There is a great shower in the bathroom and a huge TV in the living room. Also, you have a washer which is great for longer stays. The view from the enclosed sunroom is very nice, and you can see the river quite well since the apartment is on the 12th floor. It was nice and quiet, too. The hosts - both Silvio and Adriana - were simply exceptional! I worked and talked with Adriana the most and she was so very helpful and accommodating. They really provide top-notch service and it makes the stay even more rewarding. I highly recommend this apartment.
