Unbeatable location if you got things to do and places to be in the district of Centro. The apartment is nice and clean, exactly as described and pictured. Luiz is extremely friendly and helpful, I’m glad we met in person. A few things to consider: it’s noisy in the night due to concerts and performances at the Aqueduct (use ear plugs and you should be fine) and the street itself is not very lovely (although homeless people wouldn’t interact with you — I was walking in the night with no issues at all). Don’t miss nearby attractions: street food and caipirinha stalls near the Aqueduct in the evening, old tram that goes from Santa Teresa station up hill, Catedral Metropolitana de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, Museu do Amanhã, buffets in Down Town, Flamengo beach with literally no people. Rio is endless love, I will come back 100%!
