The apartment is in a great location - quiet end of a cul-de-sac and yet 5 minutes walk from the beach and lake and a couple of blocks from some great bars and restaraunts. Metro stop also close by. Marcio was very helpful - met us at the apartment. The apartment is spacious, clean and a nice view towards the hills. All in all, a great place and would defiantly go back to rio and the apartment.
