This apartment's location is one of the best in town. I have visited Rio five times and I can tell you that it's at equal short distance to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. It's convenient also for the nearby supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and shops.
The building is safe and has a guard on duty 24/7, and the elevator is fast.
The apartment is very comfortable:
– Fast wifi and two laptops for guest use, printer (very useful to search for information about Rio, buy tickets online, keep in touch with home, and print out sight and restaurant location maps and addresses).
– Lots of plugs with multi adaptors.
– Great shower and spacious bathroom.
– Fully-stocked kitchen, washing machine and air-drying clothes rack, toys for children, you name it.
– There are signs in both English and Portuguese about how to use home appliances and take care of the apartment.
– The apartment decoration is simple and has a unique charm.
