Wonderful apartment for Rio! The location is perfect, near a variety of supermarkets and restaurants. It is right on the edge of Copacabana and Leme and a 10 minute walk to the major mall. It is an easy 3 minute direct walk to the beach! Simone was great with communicating with me and helping me out when needed. The apartment has some old school Rio charm but the hosts did a good job of modernising aspects of it. The apartment was well equipped - kitchen had everything necessary and they even have mats and chairs to take to the beach. Great stay!
