The apartment is very comfortable and just like its shown on the pictures. Its located in the best nibourhood in rio, near all the cool bars and restaurants, and three blocks away from the beach. It is very secure. By the way the restaurant just in front from the apartment (CT boucherie) is the best place to eat in the whole world. To go to the city center you can take de "metro na superfice" and then de subway. It takes arond 1 hour (take into account that everything takes that long in rio)

Alexandre was very helpfull, and althoungh we did not meet him, he was very handy all the time.

I recomend the appartment :)
