This is a great apartment for long term or short term stays. My girlfriend lived here alone for three months and she always felt secure. The apartment has high quality equipment and is located in a great neighborhood, very easy to reach any touristic spots as well because it is very close to metro stations (catete and largo machado). It is surrounded by great shops and restaurants. The hosts were always very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommended and we would love to stay here again.
