This rental is the most perfect place to stay in Rio!! 10 out of 10 for location cleanliness safety and comfort!!! 6 of us stayed for a week and were very happy and comfortable. Thank you Chris!!

Modern apartment with everything you need for a short or long stay. Great security! Location is near supermarkets, restaurants, bars, transportation, etc. Best beaches (Ipenema and Copacabana) The host and staff were very respectful and responsive. Several gyms near by. We will return when we are in Rio de Janeiro!

This is a large apt, super close to the beach, restaurants, grocery store, metro. Very roomy (4beds/4baths) for family visiti. Highly recommended.

My brother and I stayed in this condo for 1 week while visiting Rio de Janerio. This was my first time visiting Brazil and my brothers third.Location: This Penthouse was located about one block away from the beach (~1-2 minute walk). There is a 24-hr supermarket called Zona Sol that is located at the end of the street. This was extremely convenient and we shopped about everyday because it was so close, even after midnight on a lot nights. There are plenty of restaurants situated around the Penthouse that one week will not be enough time to eat at each them. There is a Starbucks and Banks close enough by that walking during the day alone was not an issue at all. It appeared to be an extremely safe area with a lot of similarities to a city in the United States. For what we were there to do, it was the perfect location.NOTE: We arrived here from the airport in about 30 minutes on a Thursday morning/noon. When we left at 5PM the following Thursday it took us over 2 hours due to rush traffic and rain.Inside the Penthouse: When we arrived Edivania, the caretaker located in the premise, was preparing the apartment for us. She did an excellent job and the place was left to us extremely clean, with clean sheets and dishes. There was a dishwasher and washer and dryer combo unit located in the apartment, which was great to have. There is one bedroom with a connected bathroom located next to the kitchen. This bedroom is separated from the other 3 rooms making it very private from the rest of the house. The hottub worked well and one bedroom has sliding doors with access to the porch. Each room has a mini-split AC and those kept the rooms very cool. There is a porter located in the garage at the bottom of the building. There is also another entrance that works with a key. When you first arrive the porter will need to open the door so that you take the elevator to the 10th floor.This was a wonderful place to stay and I would stay there again. It was probably a little too big for 2 people but it was still a great deal compared to other 2 bedroom places I searched on HomeAway for this time period.
