We first rented an apartment in the Mantiqueira building through TriFlat, and it worked perfectly for our family of four. We chose one with air conditioning since we're no longer used to Brazil's heat. The outdoor area was great for the kids to play without us having to worry. We decided to add another week to our vacation, but Mantiqueira was full because of the holiday, so we moved to Princesa de Minas, on the next street and still close to the beach. That air-conditioned apartment was huge, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and enough room for two families. My sister came too, though she stayed in a different apartment during the first week. The building has a 24-hour doorman and play areas for children. The location, air conditioning, and security were all pluses, and it worked very well for families with kids. One thing to keep in mind when booking: we were on the ground floor, but the buildings have no elevators, so that could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues.
