Amazing location, you can literally walk around the block and be at the beach in less than 5 minutes. The grocery store is a short 10 min walk or short Uber ride. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby as well as two local gyms - SmartFit and Bodytech.
The host is incredibly helpful and quick with responding to any questions or issues we had. The check-in and checkout process was very smooth and easy. There is a 24/7 front desk security team always there. Gated front door so it's very safe.
There is a 2-in-1 washer/dryer on the balcony, and the Wifi was very strong. We use Wifi for work every day (social media) and never had any issues with it.
The maid comes every day except Sundays, so that was nice to have a clean apartment on a daily basis without extra effort on our part. (We had a monthly rental, so it may not be the same for shorter term rentals.)
Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Rio!!
