Great appartment in the city center of Rio, 7/8 min from the metro, price was more than affordable
the host is very kind and accomodating,
it's equiped with A/C which is a great comfort during peak temperatures,
2 things were a bit bothering though :
-the window was not sound proof at all, and it as very difficult to sleep with the noise from the street, earplugs did the job though
-the water heating system in the shower is very scary, it's an electric powered showerhead, where connections are literally above your head, I've seen that before in Rio, but it looks dangerous, not to say deadly
