Clarice's apartment was wonderful! Even though we didn't speak the same languages, we made it work. She had art everywhere and the apt was bright and fun.
In the living room, you can lounge on the bay window sill overlooking Morro do Pão de Açucar and the water. There is wi-fi in this area (but sometimes it's not much faster than the cell connection). The kitchen is adorably tiny but has everything you need - stove, oven, utensils, cups, fridge, etc.
The bedroom is very tiny so you have to be prepared for that but it's completely functional and was perfect for us. There are two beds that are on top of each other, kind of like bunks. Each had clean sheets, two down pillows and a fan. There were drawers, hooks and shelves to store everything away. The bathroom is one room with a toilet, sink, shelf, mirror and the shower all in one. You have to wipe down the bathroom after your shower which was no big deal and we quite enjoyed it. There is also an outside sink and mirror.
The condo itself is located in a building just off Praia de Botafogo street in a locked building that has a doorman from the morning until 10pm. Clarice gives you a key to get in at night. There's an elevator running most of the time.
Near the apartment, there is a big shopping center, the Metro, many bars and plenty of touristy stuff within walking distance.
Enjoy!
