The apartment is in a great location, in a really safe and cool part of Rio, close to the beach as well as some cool restaurants and bars. The apartment is really nice, we particularly liked the hammock and the comfortable couchs, as we were three larger guys (all over 6 ft) we ended up using one of the couches as a bed instead of the top bunk as it was a bit small for people our size (smaller people would be fine). Cool place, we'd stay there again.
