Vilmas was nice and quick to respond. She provided flexibility in the check-in and check-out. The apartment was clean and had all the basics including a comfortable bed and air conditioning. The building has 24 hour security and located in the heart of Lapa. The location was convenient for visiting the museums or other attractions in the downtown area. It was at least a 45 minute subway ride to any of the nicer beaches in Rio and would recommend caution walking around the neighborhood in the evening or night. If I was required to stay in Lapa again, I would consider this apartment.
