The apartment was better than I expected, we were pleasantly surprised. You could see Christ the Redeemer from 1 window and Copacabana beach from the terrace. The apartment was the perfect size for all 4 of us. It was really easy to get a taxi or bus from downstairs. The surrounding area had a lot of shops, restaurants and banks(ATM) so it was really convenient. It was easy to contact Luis, if we needed him and the wifi worked perfectly. I would highly recommend this to friends.
