Lapa is The place to be in Rio and Danielle's apartment is right there. The apartment is clean, newly paint, composed of a main room with a confortable bed, tables, chairs, large wardrobe, TV, a bathroom with toilet and shower and a kitchen. The area of Lapa is great, lot's of life, no security issue (strong presence of police) located close to Santa Theresa and Centro, 5 min from subways and buses. Copacapana or Ipanema, more calm and residential, might be preferred by senior persons however. Danielle was very nice and helpful, recommending the best touristic attractions or restaurants. I definitively recommend this apartment and will use it again when I come back to Rio.
