The apartment is well suited for both short and longer stays, including for those who may need to work. It is clean, comfortable, and has everything you might need. Steven was very responsive and gave us great information for the surrounding area which was very helpful.
Out and about, the area near and around the apartment felt safe. Copacabana beach is about a 5-10 minute walk and close to some of the better (IMO) beach front bars/restaurants.
Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb.
