The location is great - an easy walk to Copacabana Beach and Ipanema, as well as the train and bus stops. Grocery store and bike hire just around the corner. The apartment also had security on the door 24/7 who was always friendly and helpful (despite the language barrier)

Sergio kindly met us at the apartment in the evening when we gas just arrived from the airport. This was great as coming from the UK I was a bit apprehensive.
