Laura’s apartment was perfect for our time in rio during Carnaval 2018. It is very well located three blocks from Copacabana beach and the subway. It was easily accessible for Uber, which is the most common and convenient form of transportation for traveling here. There is a filtered water fountain downstairs that you can use to refill your water bottles and a doorman 24 hours to give access to the building or provide the keys. The water pressure and air conditioning were excellent. Comfortably sleeps four with one large bed, a single and a trundlebed. Laura was very responsive via email and a great host. Fantastic value for your trip to Rio!
