The apartment is very nice, tastefully decorated, modern and very comfortable. Although it is small, it is also cozy, the space is very well distributed and it offers a sensation of more space. Also, Laranjeiras, the district where the apartment is located, is very nice and has many amenities. My problem during my stay was with noise - the apartment faces on to a main street which is noisy both at day-time and at night-time. Although the windows are meant to be sound-proof, personally, I find that quite a bit of noise still gets through into the apartment.
