The apartment is excellent in terms of decoration and equipment. Patricia and Mik are very friendly and helpful and try their best to make your stay comfortable. Concerning the location of the apartment, two things can be mentioned: on the one hand, it offers you an amazing view over the city; on the other hand, the prize to pay for this is that one has to travel a bit by bus (10-15 minutes) to get to restaurants and supermarkets. But the busses come frequently and the cabs are extremely cheap in Rio, so the beauty of the apartment seems worth it.
