The Appartement was nice and clean. It is in the 15th floor of a more business type of building. The area is also a very business type of area and crowded till late afternoon. Restaurants and street food of all kinds are right there only thing i missed was a proper supermarket but maybe I just didn’t find it. There is police during daytime and I felt safe.. if you really look and behave like a gringo dough, watch these streets especially in the evening/night and on weekends. But I felt safe there. The Carioca metro station is really close and goes straight to the beach within 20 minutes. Overall I can definitely recommend this Appartement!!
