Located in Rio de Janeiro within 11 km of AquaRio Rio Marine Aquarium and 13 km of Maracanã Stadium, Quarto Privativo em Condominio offers accommodation with free WiFi. A kitchen is provided at the property.

We stayed only 1 night. We had problems flying out of Brazil. Therefore, in the evening, while at the airport, we had to look for a place near the airport to sleep. After booking, we contacted the administration via WhatsApp, and they sent instructions on how to find them. Since we were very tired and it was dark outside, we searched for this place for a little while. When we arrived, the staff met us and showed us our room in the apartment. The owner sent all the instructions to us on WhatsApp. The room and bathroom and kitchen were clean, the people were friendly. The next day we didn't know if we could take a flight or not. Therefore, we stayed in this place until the evening to resolve our issues. Many thanks to the administration for allowing us to stand until 5 PM You have helped us a lot. As a result, in the evening we were able to solve our problems and fly out of Brazil. Thank you so much for giving us the time. Sincerely, Andrey and Valentina.
