As described, the apartment is very close to the beach and is equipped with all the amenities. Iris was top-notch, she went out of her way to make sure we had all we needed and answered every text within seconds. She apologized for leaving some Carnival glitter from previous tenants, but the place was actually spotless. The windows look into the inner courtyard, which was a plus after all because it is a very quiet building. Building staff are super-friendly and ready to help. Neighbors are mostly regular Cariocas who don't want to bother each other and are very friendly if you're respectful.
All and all, it's a great deal for a perfectly located, regular city apartment.
