We were met by Deborah on behalf of Silvia and given a wonderful tour of the apartment and building. The place is indeed cozy and well located within Copacabana. Easy access to taxis and subway in addition to buses. Good layout and perfect for four people. Since this was during the FIFA Worldcup final weekend, the level of noise and excitement was off the scale and ran well into the early morning hours. The 24/7 security staff is courteous and professional. Would recommend Silvia's apartment for anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro.
