The place is just like the pictures. The manager of the apartment is very nice and responsive. It was a pity that there was no AC during our stay, because the extreme heat of Rio it was unbearable. That is why we had to leave 8 days early and move to another unit before we left. We stayed for 3 weeks, and had to buy linens, blankets and pillows that we hope other guests will enjoy as well. They’re are many things nearby, and a mall pretty close and many restaurants, and the street is quiet. But two times there was heavy rain and the street flooded. And since there is a big pile of trash right nearby, we had to walk in trash and shit water knee deep to the house. There are also tiny things such as: ants, water getting on the floor in the shower, the balcony door fell off, we got mugged two streets away from the house(don’t walk at night near the university). But overall the apartment was nice and clean. The building was also safe. It felt like we went back in time:) I recommend 👍
