Great location! We were just a block away from the beach and the supermarket as well as many restaurants. (Our favorite restaurant was an all you can eat pizza place called Parmê) We were able to get everything we needed for our trip without having to go very far.
The apartment is very clean and well taken care of. We felt very safe while we were at the apartment. The doormen were very helpful and kind to us. Overall it is a great apartment. Would recommend to anyone visiting Rio.
