My husband and I spent wonderful week here. Spacious clean room just like in those pictures, fully equipped kitchen, A/C, TV, hot shower, wash machine all work well.
Only one block away from beach, and few minutes walking to the most beautiful and interesting area in RJ-- Leme. The water here is so clear, sometimes you can see turtles from the fisherman way of Leme.Don't forget to visit Forte do Leme. A little hike gives you a gorgeous view up there., and it's free. This area has some nice restaurants and couple supermarkets. Not as many as center of Copacabana, but enough.
The neighborhood is safe and quiet, even it's close to a small Favela which you can see from the bedroom window, but it's not a dangerous one, and there is a police car guarding this area for always.
The host is nice and thoughtful. He can speak English, easy to talk to and respond quickly. He prepares free bottle water, soap, beach chair and beach tennis set for guest. We are appreciated it, that makes our check in and stay more convenient.
We love our stay in this apartment. 100% recommend. Hope we will come back again.
