Aside from personal preferences, this apartment is very well thought out and is a very nice place to stay while in Rio. it is close to everything and there are a fewlocal gems located near by.
The apartment tends to get very hot during days above 38 c. Fans help but it can be tough until later in the day when the sun moves behind neighboring buildings.
Overall, I would recommend to someone who is lookingto stay for more than a few weeks.
