The apt is just as shown in the pictures. It's been refurbished lately and all appliances, toilets, furniture look new and modern. The apt has everything you might need for a stay in Rio, including good wifi, washing machine, etc. The building has 24 hs doorman, so the entrance is secure. In any case, this is a nice and safe neighborhood. There are plenty of dinning options around, and Leblon beach it's a 10min walk. Great stay!
