Paola and Isak have a gem on Copacabana Beach. You will not be disappointed. We booked two Airbnbs on this trip and they were rated similarly but this place was truly exceptional. This is a good value for your money. The place was very clean. Fantastic views and a great restaurant downstairs. There are also a couple of small bars that have very nice bartenders. My group ranged from 65 to 23 years old. And everyone enjoyed this location. You still have to take the normal precautions (especially at night) considering it’s Rio but this location was relatively safe. Direct access to the beach was a plus. The doormen and women were extremely nice and welcoming. I would stay here again!
