The apartment has a beautiful ocean view. The location is very safe, not only the apartment has guards 24/7 at the entrance, but also every person that enters the building has to scan a finger. It is on a main street, that has a lot of restaurants and shops, everything you need, it's always busy. It is perfect if you want to enjoy the beach and if you want to see the best places in RIO as well. And it's close everything: to buses that can get you anywhere or to the ocean so you can walk on the ocean front and enjoy the ocean view. Luciana's a great host, always answered all our questions very quickly and helped with all the problems. We were traveling as a group of two people and since we are girls we were very worried about the safety in RIO because we heard lots of scary stories how people got mugged . But Luciana explained how to walk in the streets and what things we should be attentive to. Don't walk alone at night or to not crowded, not touristic places; carry a belt for money and for your phone and you'll be fine! Very happy with our stay in rio! Strongly recommend!
