Amazing location! Urca is so scenic and by far the safest neighborhood in Rio. Plus you can walk to a beautiful beach and an even more beautiful hike. The only issue with this spot is on the weekends, when the wall along the water right in front of the apartment turns into a giant outdoor drinks vibe. It's a really nice vibe but it does change the feel of the apartment which is very open to the street. During the week it's super quiet and chill.
