We stayed 5 nights and it was not necessary to rent a car. I would even recommend not renting a car because it would be difficult to find parking.
You are just a few blocks from Copacabana beach which has a walk way / path that leads to Ipanema beach. Great for jogging / scooters skates or skateboards. Rent a Lime scooter. It’s cheap and fun and can get you around super fast.
There are super markets, pubs, restaurants and fresh juice shops on this same street or just a few blocks away.
The elevator is slow but fine. You are on the 10th floor and the apartment has great natural light but with black out blinds if you want to sleep late.
The walls are a little thin so you can hear the neighbors but at night it’s mostly quiet.
The apartment fits a couple very comfortably.
We really enjoyed!
