The apartment is a wonderful light-filled space with ample accommodation, neatly looked after and very well presented. You cannot ask for a more central location as the beach and metro station are in very close proximity. Being on top of the building provides a wonderful release from the tight confines of the city below. There is noise on the nights that parties are held but one has to accept that you are in a bustling holiday city. If are a cook at heart then you may be disappointed by the lack of a stove but being on holiday this was not an issue for me. The host was very attentive and responsive and without an hour delivered an umbrella and some breakfast bowls, the former coming in very handy in what was a much wetter trip this time around. I would definitely stay there again but having visited Rio twice I think a trip somewhere else is on the cards!
