The apartment is modern and comfortable with all the basic necessities, the location is great, turn right and a quick walk down to the South river bank and Luiz I bridge lower crossing to the North bank, or turn left and walk up the steps/road and be at Jardim do Morro and the upper crossing of Luiz I bridge and across into the City. The view from the balcony of the bedroom is superb. The only negative is that as others have posted, the walls are thin and you can hear the footsteps/voices of the apartment above and the road or people talking on the street outside. However this didn't spoil our stay.
