We had a great experience at Thais' apartment - the arrival was very smooth and there is a 24 hr concierge on duty at the gate. It was very convenient for our Olympics athletics tickets in that we could walk home. We found the exit from the metro a little tricky but we used to Uber or taxi home from there most nights and it was a 10-15 minute walk if we wished. We loved our time in Rio during the Olympics - and the apartment was a great base for us. We used the washing machine and the hammock and really appreciated having an economical and private space to ourselves.
