The apartment as advertised has an amazing view from all parts of the loft, this along with the location, is the reason you want to stay here. We stayed a month and the apartment has the minimum necessary for a longer-term stay. The internet works well. As others have mentioned, you should check with Luis about neighboring renovations in the building which can cause some noise during the day. Both my wife and I were working during the day, and while at times a bit annoying, it never lasted so long to cause serious problems. There was a problem with the television and Luis was quick to respond and resolve the issue. We were staying during the winter, and even so, at times it would get quite hot in the apartment during the day; granted, the AC worked great for when we needed it (although, we try to avoid using as much as possible). The price-for-value is quite good considering the view and location and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again the next time we're back in Rio if it is available.
