I stayed here with a friend for 10 days during the 2014 World Cup and we were absolutely delighted with our choice. Great location - 5 minutes to the beach, close to bars, restaurants and shops. I had no concerns about safety in the appartment (there is security) or walking around the neighbourhood.
The appartment was easily big enough for the two of us. It was very clean and Rosana made us very welcome with flip flops, stocked fridge and mobile phone for our use. Wifi was also very handy.
There is building work going on outside, but after busy days in Rio it did not stop me sleeping.
I would definitely stay here again.
