I stayed recently at Flat de frente para o mar for the Rio Olympics. The location was exactly as described in the profile and photographs. It was a very secure and safe apartment with a beautiful view over the pool and beach. If you don't want the hype, hustle and bustle of Copacabana, this is the place to stay. There are local buses, taxis and Uber readily available in the area. The main BRT bus system is about a 30 minute walk away or otherwise the host has push bikes available. Plenty of local eating places, and supermarkets are a short walking distance away. Our host Claudia was extremely helpful in every way, and provided all information required for our stay. Check-in was simple and easy. I have no hesitations in recommending this wonderful apartment. Sonia
