Superb apartment. Close to everything that you could need if you traveling to Rio as a tourist. It is a little bit noisy outside, especially during weekends due to clubs and bars on the street. If you like that sort of stuff then this apartment is perfect for you. But even if clubbing is not your thing, you can also enjoy this appartment and have a calm night without earplugs. With a ventilator running over night, you can hear just monotonous sound of the fan, which is pleasant for sleeping and loud enough to conceal the noise from the street (also pretty good soundproof windows in bedroom).
Very safe aparment, due to gate and doorman. Excellent communication with the host.
Would definitely recommend.
