A lot of room and a great location

I don't speak Brazialian Portugeuse and had some level of difficulty accessing the apartment. I had to wait on the street for the doorman to communicate with the host regarding me being there. No one was there with the key even though I'd provided the time of my arrival in advance. Bottom line, next time I'll opt for a 4 or 5 star hotel where I won't have to wait for 45 minutes to get into my room after 13 hours of travel. Location is good.

The only positives for this property is its proximity to the beach, metro, and restaurants. I communicated with the host prior to my trip, expressed that I only speak English and Spanish and my understanding was that my host would check me in to the property. I provided the expected time of my arrival and was told I'd be met there by the host. I showed up exactly when I said I would and the host was nowhere to be found. The doorman only spoke Brazilian Portuguese and just kept saying "no" as I showed my reservation. He had me wait outside the building with all of my luggage for 45 minutes while trying to contact the host. I messaged the host on VRBO and heard nothing back for 35 minutes. The host sent someone else, who didn't speak anything but Brazilian Portuguese to check me in. Long story short, next time I'm in Rio, I'll stay at a hotel in Leblon or Ipanema.

Stayed in the apartment with the family for new year's eve celebrations. Everything was prepared on arrival. Explanation was given were to find items, or how to use. Technical assistance was available on-call if required, which was not needed. In summary, everyone in the group enjoyed the stay.

Awesome location very safe and near to the beach below there is a very live bar and delecious restaurants, highly recommended for vistores coming first time

Was all ok the property is beatiful and everything was right

Beautiful place, good location, safe, comfortable and clean. Luciano is a great person. He was available whenever we needed assistance. If someday l decide to visit Rio de Janeiro again, we would stay there.

O apartamento e excelente, tudo funciona perfeitamente, ar condicionado e televisao em todos os compartimentos, o Sr Luciano foi de uma gentileza incomum, pra quem quiser levar a familia para visitar o Rio de Janeiro esse e um dos melhores locais. Tem tudo nos arredores, 2 supermercados, varios bares, pubs e restaurantes, bancos, agencia do correio, enfim, o lugar e perfeito, recomendo muito.
