A lovely apartment well situated, everything is close by, the metro, shops, bars, restaurants, shops, buses are all within easy walking distance and there is a supermarket right next door and others just a few minutes away., a very good bakers is just around the corner, 24 hour porters in the building and they are very helpful. The apartment itself is clean, well presented, has everything one needs, a comfortable bed, wardrobe, good cable tv, wi fi, radio, air con, fans, sofa, a nicely done bathroom with good hot water supply in the shower, a good kitchen with cooker, washing machine, fridge, all utensils are provided. a nice touch that not many rental apartments have, an iron and ironing board which for me is a must. Renata is such a lovely person, always answers any questions promptly, is super kind and friendly, nothing is too much bother for her, anyone thinking of staying here then do not think twice, I stayed here for some 56 days and loved every moment and I will certainly return . I have rented quite a few apartments in Rio de Janeiro over the years and this one is by far the best I have stayed in. Highly recommended
