After a long research I was convinced by the extensive tips Felipe has on the apartment description, but trust me, after you confirm the reservation, a 3 Mb Guidebook with maps and descriptions of too many things to do, see and eat around the apartment and in Rio in general, download this file into your phone and with Waze app, you are done !!!
The apartment is very comfortable and LOCATION, LOCATION, just one block from the beach, supermarket opened until very late across the street and within walking distance from many restaurants, bars, etc. City tours can pick you up from the apartment check (Riomaximo.com) very friendly, lots of tours
Music, Felipe is just crazy about music, has over 500 cd's to play while you are having a drink at home after a long day.
Overall, our experience was very GOOD, would not change for staying in a hotel ....
