I stayed or just over three weeks – spectacular. A well-decorated penthouse apartment with glass doors, lots of light, and an incredible view of Copacabana, Sugarloaf, and islands out in the sea. Fast internet connection and cable TV, large patio with lots of plants, and right up against the kind of steep mountain/park Rio only has, with monkeys visible in the trees. One block from Metro, a few blocks from beach, with close shopping, nightlife, and lots of great walks. Sandra and Vincent are excellent hosts, giving you lots of city information if you need it, and the apartment is cleaned and re-supplied every day. All as advertised and more. I hope I can come back soon to spend some more time there. An experience!
