This is by far the best apartment I've stayed at in Rio. It's centrally located for all your needs (groceries, banks, malls, restaurants, pharmacies, and the beach at Post 11). It's very safe to walk around during all hours of the day/night. The building has 24 hour security at the entrance which makes check-in run smooth (being that I arrived a few hours late due to holiday traffic... sorry Gisele). Gisele is attentive and her response time is quick. I would definitely stay here again.
