The apartment is located in the best area of Rio, Ipanema, I always felt safe and the neighborhood is very nice and residential. There is a supermarket less then a block away which made it very convenient to by fruits, water, etc. The apartment is very comfortable, with AC and ideal for one or two people. Very convenient check-in system, I was able to check in very early in the morning. The hosts were very attentive to every question and concern. The location could not be better, 5 minutes walk to Ipanema Beach and 10 minutes to Copacabana. Plenty of restaurants close by even to please a Vegan like me. I would rent again if ever in Rio again. I recommend this apartment 100%.
