The apartment is exactly as it appears in the pictures with a nice bathroom and kitchenette, flat screen tv, microwave, refrigerator with a 24 hour doorman. We were there for the first week of the world cup and the FanZone was right in front of the building. It is in a great location near Posto 3. The beach is clean and beautiful and the surrounding neighborhood is clean with lots of restaurants, plaza's, shopping centers, laundry. Lucas is a great host. He met us the first day and gave us his cell phone number to be available for whatever we needed and gave a walking tour of the neighborhood. He even bought us a wi-fi router for our cell-phones and took us around to some recommended spots.
