The Athletes' Village, where the soon-to-be heroes of Rio 2016 will stay for the Olympic Games.

Whichever way you look, the mountains that surround Rio create a stunning backdrop.

The village caters for all of the athletes' needs and even has its own florist.

Too busy competing to wash your clothes? There's a dry cleaners on site.

Need to stock up on essentials? Head to the village grocery store.

Fed up of the food in the canteen? Get to the back of the long line for a McDonald's.

Not got the time to hit the Copacabana? Feel the sand between your toes right outside your front door.

Need to perfect your Opening Ceremony look? Get your hair and nails done at the salon.

Men's grooming is also available for those looking for a trim ahead of their big day.

Jamaicans Danniel Thomas and Daina Levy are loving life in the village, despite some hiccups.

Swimmers Irene Prescott (right) and Evelina Afoa, of Tonga and Samoa respectively, are staying in the same building as the Australians, although they didn't experience any problems with the facilities upon their arrival in Brazil.
