We liked ( me and my girl) our weekend stay there, but some things could be better. The building is located on downtown and we weren't confortable to walk there or arrive during the night ( dicey) . So I think thats similiar issue in the main cities around the world, but Rio needs to improve the security policies ( thats One of Hundreds issues there); The building is old, just one elevator working ( very old), the hall from evelator until the Apartment is not good conditions is antique (ugly), the walls etc. The apartment is on the limit conditions to stay ( thats our opinion), good room, good bedroom ( and bed), but the kitchen is not good and the bathroom as well ( need renovation). The itens on the kitchen could be more organized and clean aspect. The right side door entrance in the building is not good, not good view from there.

The good view is to the MAM, you can go there walking - 5min.

You have a metro station very near, 5min by foot, but you can't arrive there on night ...
The Arcos da Lapa is very near, but there're a lot of homeless living around it.
We tried to get a itau bike ( orange station), but it wasn't possible, because all bikes was in terrible conditions. So, we decided to walk. : (

tip: please rent bikes( bicycle) for your guests, you can leave it on the room and offer this benefit for your next guest.

Our favorite transport was Uber, 2 - Metro.
Our favorite beach is Barra da Tijuca.

Rio you will find several others issues, we don't know if we gonna back again.

Thats all!
