I stayed for 2 weeks during the Olympics. The apartment was as advertised. It has been completely modernized and stylishly remodeled. Air con works great and is silent. The wifi is fast and reliable as is the plumbing. The washer/dryer is new and is a great bonus for travelers.

The building is conveniently located 1 block from the sand of Copacabana beach. You can walk to Ipanema in 10 minutes. It is located on one of the busiest streets in Rio but the apartment itself is very quiet.
