I had a great experience at Jan's apartment. The location is fantastic to access the metro, beach, or shopping. The air conditioner worked great in the bedroom which is important to me. While the apartment is close to bars and restaurants that are open late, you couldn't hear noise if you are the type to turn in early.

The size is perfect for a solo traveler or couple and is furnished nicely. The place is secure as well with gates and a doorman.

If you are coming to Rio, I would highly recommend Jan's place.
