I recognize that Estadia Carioca is a management company. They are great. However, this apartment was not. I ended up cutting my stay short because the apartment had no gas (no hot water, cooking, etc). But I hope they will address a few of the other things I noted to them. If you have any mobility or balance issues, this apartment is not for you. No elevator (noted in the description), but also the steps are challenging inside the apartment. So just be careful... On a bright note, it is next to some AMAZING restaurants.
