The location of the apartment is great, close to the beach of Copacabana and Ipanema with many bars and restaurants around. The communication with Pedro was also very good and he was very quick to answer if there were any questions or uncertainties.
There were some minor issues in the apartment. For example: One of the showers leaked which resulted in the bathroom always being wet. Also, the AC in one of the rooms was leaking so we had to turn it off frequently. It would also be nice if there were a little more cleaning supplies which would make it easier to keep the apartment clean.
All in all, however, I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone coming to Rio with a group of friends and wanting to be close to the beach.
