Apartment is generally nice with a good bed and furniture which somebody can call old-fashoined but i daresay with a flavor of real life. It's clean, spacy enough for 2 persons and sunny. Wifi was working perfectly. Special thanks for our host who organized our free transfer from the airport and have left us some nice presents (fruits and water).
But the air condition was working not really well and if the night was hot the conditioner was not able to cool the bedroom down completely and was noisy also. Which is one real disadvantage of the apartment. Plus though the apartment is on the 10th floor still it was very noisy because the windows are looking on a very busy street and in the house court they had some reconstruction going on which also did not help. I really liked the area (Lapa) - not-touristy like Copa or Ipanema and has real flavor of Rio with a lot of nice place to eat in different price categories. A lot of bars and other activity at night but we have not feel any danger or discomfort. Definitely recommend the area in case if you do not want to spend all your vacations on the beach and want to visit some museums/Niteroi/see real Rio life. If you wanna just sun and sea you'd better take Copa/Ipanema instead because it takes appr. 45 min to reach beaches from this place
