The apartment has a living and dining area, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. It is nice if you're working or need privacy because there is a door to the living/dining area that closes, as does the bedroom door. There is also a small balcony, which I enjoyed. The wifi was excellent and the bed was comfortable. The host is communicative and accomodating. The building has 24 hour security and the staff were professional and kind. It is a few blocks from the Cinelandia metro station and there were always taxis near the building entrance, as there are 4 major hotels within a block. Pharmacies, restuarants and small markets are all near. The location is very convenient for those who want to enjoy the attractions of centro, but still have easy metro or Uber/Taxi access to the beaches of the south zone. Flamengo beach is about 15 minutes walk from the apartment, and Copacabana is a 10 minute metro ride, while Ipanema is about 15 min. metro ride. Lapa is a 5 minute walk. I would recomend and I would definitely stay again.
