The apartment is just like in the photos. It is close to the underground and other public transportation, with restaurants and supermarkets in the neighbourhood. It is also within walking distance from Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. It should be noted that electricity is not included in the rental hence one will be charged at the end of the stay for its use. One will receive two photos, one upon arrival and one on the day of departure, with the supposed usage but there is no means of actually verifying the consumption.
