Very nice apartment. Full kitchen, good size living room and bedroom. There is a secure gate and a doorman at all times. There is a favela behind the apartment up the hill that can be quite loud. I was there for a month and got used to it very quickly and it didn't bother me at all, but if you are a light sleeper it may be an issue. For me it was entertaining to hear the parties. Be careful to keep the place clean or bugs will show up.
