Place is comfortable, clean, has great security within the building.
it is a good location in copacabana and walking distance from ipanema beach and restaurants, there is a great breakfast place around the corner as well. the area has homeless around, but we feel secure in the area and within the building.
For small kids the spiral stairs are a bit dangerous, but my daughters 9-12 were fine with them.
I do recommend this location and apartment to stay in Rio de Janeiro, we are a family of 4 and enjoy our time in Rio.
The host was always very attentive, and helpful, we had a problem with the microwave and they replace it right-away.
