Rio de Janeiro, the city that needs no introductions.
Next to the Floresta da Tijuca, the world’s biggest urban tropical forest, in one of Rio’s trendiest neighborhoods, we offer our guests a true “apartment on the green”. With 75 SQ FT, this comfortable room has an independent entrance, a queen size bed, private bathroom, AC, cable TV and Wi-Fi.
Situated on a quiet, safe street, and a block away from bus routes connecting the whole city, the apartment is about 1/2 mile away from the famous Botanical Garden, one of Rio’s “must see” attractions, and also a short walk to the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, another Rio postcard. A City bike rental depot is also nearby as well as several famous bars and restaurants.
In a separate level a few steps above the room, facing the terrace and the pool, is your private full kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, blender in addition to a table with four chairs and assorted utensils. Toucans, a host of other birds and, occasionally, a few monkeys, may show up to keep you company while you enjoy your breakfast.
On your fifteen minutes’ walk to Lagoa, you’ll pass by supermarkets, branches of all major banks, Pharmacies, assorted stores and one of the best steak and fries restaurants of the city. Don’t be surprised if during your walk you recognize some of Brazil’s celebrities, since along the way you will see the headquarters of Rede Globo de Televisão, the world’s second largest TV conglomerate.
To access your apartment , there’s an external staircase with 55 easy steps, but not suitable to the very elderly, persons with disabilities or restrictions to climbing stairs.If you are a cycling enthusiast, this is the place to be since we are situated right at the foothills of Tijuca Forest, one of Rio’s main biking trails with its lush vegetation, cascades and breathtaking views of the city.
We are ready to advise and recommend the best tours, excursions, restaurant and stores as well as the appropriate ways to get you to your own interests. Should your trip be for leisure or business we will make your stay the most productive and fun so you may feel like a “carioca” like us (born in Rio).
Come stay at the apartment on the green and enjoy all this magnificent and welcoming city has to offer.
