Great apartment - modern, clean, comes with everything you need for cooking and self-catering, nice kitchen/living area. Perfect for two people, including a large amount of wardrobe space. Really good shower and spacious bathroom area.
The outstanding feature has to be the two balconies with fantastic views of Mount Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer perched on top - simply stunning to see both during the day and lit up at night. Although the balconies overlook a busy road, it doesn't take away from the incredible sight of Christ the Redeemer looking down on you.
Brilliant location in the Lagoa neighbourhood, which is not touristy but very pleasant residential area next to the beautiful lake. It is safe and easy to reach Ipanema, Copacabana, Humaita, Botafogo.
Only negatives were: a) communication was OK, nothing more (we had to ask the concierge for information and to leave our baggage after check-out even though I asked the host about this). b) One of the balcony doors had a broken lock.
Overall highly recommended
