Location is everything! The apartment is only a block from the beach and about 5 mins walk (safely) to the metro. It's small but has everything you need for a fun stay and is well equipped. The apartment is tastefully decorated and clean. Luciana was a great host, there to meet us when we arrived, great English, available and quick to respond when minor issues arose and a really nice person. If you want a secure, safe, comfortable base for a stay in Copacabana then you'll be happy you booked.
