I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here on my 2nd trip to Rio. This is a superior option for several reasons. I was really concerned about cleanliness, size and location and this place exceeded my expectations. The cost is very competitive…you have an unparalleled view of Copacabana’s beach, and the place is enormous (the entire floor of the building). Additionally, it is a perfect location because you are close to Ipanema too. The host accommodated an early check-in for me, and was very attentive and helpful. The beach is across the street and everything you need is in walking distance. The entrance/exit is very secure and I was safe coming in and out every day. I hope to stay here again!!!
