A great value for the money (we paid about 100 USD/night) given the large size of the apartment (2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, living room, kitchen and washing machine room) and the location (right next to Copacabana Palace and the beach). I was surprised that there was only air conditioning in the bedrooms (which I guess is common in Brazil, but travelers from North America or Europe might not be used to this). With the window open and the fan on, the living room was a bearable temperature. But then there was a lot of noise from the fan and the outside, so a bit annoying when I spent several hours in apartment one day do some work. The owners, Ana and Marcus were extremely friendly (Marcus picked me up from the airport for an extra fee). They had great communication and were constantly checking in via Whatsapp to see how we were doing.
