This was the second apartment I've booked in Rio and it was great. The check in was really easy and extremely convenient. The apartment is located on a busy street near the beach with a supermarket right next door. The air con in the bedroom cooled the room right down and I didn't notice anything about street noise. The apartment is a little dark in the living area but personally I prefer that since so many places make it really difficult to sleep during the day. Clean, easy checkin, great location and excellent value for money. Would book again.
