We spent 2 weeks in the apartment and our stay was as comfortable as possible. The apartment is even more spacious than it looks in the photos. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there. The apartment is located in a walk distance from the main beaches: Copacabana and Ipanema. Nearby are stores, small cafes and bakeries, exchange office and metro station.
If you are going to visit Rio de Janeiro and spend time on the mentioned beaches - the choice of this apartment is reasonable and more than meets the price / quality. The only thing is that the apartment is quite noisy because of traffic outside, so if you are a light sleeper, it may be difficult to get used to the noise. My partner we stayed didn't mind the noise at all while I quickly got used to it.
Luiz was always in touch and helpful promptly.
