I stayed in this apartment for almost 3 months and had a great experience. The landlords were very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. The apartment is in one of the more upper-class neighborhoods, is located near many different shopping malls and restaurants, and is very safe. While it isn't centrally located near the main tourist attractions, a taxi is easy to get. If you don't feel like going far, Barra Beach is the longest beach in Rio and is only a 5 minute walk away. Overall a great apartment!
