The apartment is a great, central location in the Zona Sul in Rio. You are two blocks from Copacaba beach and just a couple more to Ipanema. Great price, comfortable apartment, etc. so I definitely recommend for a trip to Rio.
The one complaint I had is the internet connection stopped working for two days of my stay. It was not the host's fault (and happens somewhat often in Brazil), but the host and her apartment manager stopped responding to me after they couldn't fix (and told it was fixed, but it never was). I was a little annoyed that I had to use my expensive international data to make plans while traveling and could not work one morning as I had planned.
