The place lived up to my expectations, the staff of the building were courteous and helpful , the building is centrally located to everything, you won't have any issues if you stay of the busy street thats around the corner of the building. The apartment was very quiet with a unique view of the mountain rocks that you see all over Rio. The only issue I would have is the pool on the roof is nice but it is less than half the size of the photos posted. The roof top terrace is also very nice a great space to lay in the sun or work.
