10/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
I needed a place to stay during my trip to the US consulate in Rio de Janeiro. I was originally going to stay in Copacabana but the hotels were expensive, outdated, and had no kitchen to cook. I didn’t know anything about Rio, so my assumption was I had to stay in the beach towns for higher quality hotels and safer environments. But when reviewing this studio apartment, it had more modern rooms, a kitchen, and a more affordable price, so I took a chance and hoped I made the right choice. I have to say that I was very pleased with my accommodations. The room was very clean and furnished. It had a nice kitchen to prepare meals. My only recommendation is for a few more kitchen amenities. My wife is Brazilian and wanted to cook beans but they didn’t have a pressure cooker. The shower did not have a sliding glass door so when you shower the bathroom floor and bathroom door gets wet. Besides a few minor touches, everything else was very satisfactory. They have a community area with several amenities. The full service laundry machines were a big plus. Anything that we requested or needed was promptly addressed and attended to from extra toiletries to local market recommendations. There is limited parking in the street during the day but it frees up after work around 5/6pm. I used the private garage which was on the same side of the street and only a short walk away. Overall I was very pleased about the value of my stay and recommend to others.
