This is a studio apartment, so you can't expect it to be spacious. As a place to crash, it is fine. The king size bed was very comfortable, there was abundant hot water for the shower. Everything was clean and in good order. We cooked breakfast using the small kitchen. The cable TV came in handy since there were some rainy days. The apartment is situated close to everything--walking to the discos, Ipanema, the restaurants, the subway. The street is noisy and full of people all the time, but they are not scary. Security is tight, with doormen and surveillance cameras everywhere. Levi is a wealth of information for tourists.
