We had a great stay,the apartment is all you need-bed,fridge,little kitchen,aircondition,bathroom,Tv...we had a great view too-on the left side Christ the redeemer and ond the right sugar loaf.On the top of the building is a little pool with sunbeds and grill and it looks so nice in there,you can even play a biliard...The location it's the best!You are basically right on the copacabana-3min walk.You have a lot of shops around,restaurants,take aways,you can easy exchange money in there and book a different trips with the agency on your street.All you need is in there.We spent a few nights in here and then few nights in other apartment in Botafogo,but we couldn't change money in there,there was no agency to book a trips with and even the food possibilities are not as good so we kept coming back to copacabana for everything.And the owner Bob is a very nice guy,helps you with anything you need and he is american what was a big plus for me because you don't have understanding problems and he is a foreigner living few years in there so he can give you good tips and tricks how the things work,where they are trying to rip you off and what to be careful of.Public transportation very easy access too.If you wanna be close to everything than this is a good choice.
