It's a good neighborhood, fully equipped apartment, two block's from the beach, overall good place. When I stayed, however, the lock didn't work from inside and I didn't feel safe. I was only for 2 days and didn't have time to move, and being in Río's safest neighborhood I resolved to move a counter against the door to sleep better. Nothing happened, but make sure this is fixed before staying if you want a paranoia-free stay.
