The apartment is in good location. Walking distance to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Good value for money. Good place for a short visit. The only 2 things we did not like: internet ( there is wifi spot, but very slow, almost like there is no internet. I would not recommend for people who is planning to work from home) and on weekends it is loud music form the street till 2-3 am. It did not bother me, but my girlfriend had some sleeping issue.
