The appartement is located in a great area. I stayed for 10 days in Rio and this apartment. It is super close to as well Copacabana and Ipanema. Besides that next to the entrance is the metro station which is very easy to get around other places. The appartement is super clean, safe and Michael was very flexible with the check in. He is great host so I can only recommend this place if you are looking for a great price/ quality appartement
