Apartment very well located for a person who wants to discover Rio, not too far from the beach areas and not too far from the historical center and lively areas like Lapa. The communication with the owner is excellent and he tries to help you with your requests and questions. For the price, you should not expect luxury, but there is no street noise, the building is protected, a supermarket and a great café are at the foot of the building. Public transportation is very close. I loved the stay in the apartment and Alan always responded very quickly. I recommend this host!
