The apartment is very well located, within walking distance to Ipanema and Arpoador, and close to local stores (convenience, groceries, drugstores, cafés, etc). The place is a bit small, but perfect for 1 or 2 people. Everything was neat and functioning in the apartment.
Taxis are available on the same street as the apartment any time of the day. Easy access to public transportation as well.
Ana and Marcos were very hospitable.
I would easily stay there again and I highly recommend it to travelers looking for location while in Rio.
