I spent 90 days in this apartment. It was exactly as pictured and I loved the neighborhood. We had a few bumps but they were attended to promptly, especially when, due to a hole in my pocket, I lost my key. Gerson went out of his way to have a new key delivered. I will say that the Internet in Brazil is not the best, but it suffices. I did love this neighborhood and never felt unsafe for the 3 months I was there. I highly recommend this apartment.
