This is a spacious apartment in a great location. It needs some TLC and is not fancy but has everything you need in the place, and everything else within walking distance. Luis was always on hand to offer help with issues at the house (for example when the hot water did not work in one of the bathrooms he came straight round and fixed it) and he also gave us great advice about things to see and ways to get around Rio. I highly recommend this good-value apartment. (The doorman is also exceptionally helpful!)
