We had a great time in the apartment, it was just the right size for two, safe, clean and light and in a great location for exploring both the Copacabana area and the rest of Rio. The apartment is in a bustling area with fun nearby bars etc (try out el born, great cocktails and food) and really just steps to the beach.Alessandro was a wonderful host, sorting us out with an airport pick up when we arrived and helping us out with questions we had during our stay and generally just being very lovely and efficient with his responses. Thank you so much Alessandro!
