I want to start by saying that João is a great host, he was always available to help solve any problem, he kindly brought brand new towels and other amenities. Just a really big HEADS UP: the apartment doesn’t have a good quality internet. We really wish we knew this before, as digital nomads we work from home. The internet would come and go all the time and was certainly not reliable. We had to go out for cafes with wifi for meetings and emailing. The location is good, close to the beach and in a good part of Copacabana. The apartment entrance is a little moldy and dirty which makes the first floor have a mold smell most of the time. Overall, João was great, the apartment okay.
