Great location, very centric in between Ipanema and Copacabana. Close to the beach, restaurants, supermarket. Felt very safe to walk around, only at night after 10pm we took a taxi once just in case. The appartment is quiet, has a good bed, and a little kitchen with pans, plates, etc. There were quite a lot of ants even though there was no food, but it wasn't too disturbing. Overall, a great stay.
