Most of the AIRBNB rentals in Copacabana/Ipanema are in high-rise buildings. I like Bernadette's place because it is street level with easy in-and-out. The location gives easy access to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, with Rua Rainha Elisabeth running from the beaches of Ipanema on one end (connects just west of Postal 8 in Ipanema) and Copacabana (connects just east of the fort). I don't really like air conditioning, and there is a great free-standing fan in the living room which suited me perfectly. Very cold refrigerator for your beverages. Two beds, two baths - comfortable layout. Rainha Elisabeth can be a little noisy with traffic, but it was not a great bother.
