My girlfriend and I were supposed to stay here for 5 weeks – and we ended up extending to 9 weeks. We enjoyed our stay. The place is i ideally located, about 2 minutes from Copacabana beach and an 8-minute walk from tube stations Siqueira Campos and Cardeal Arcoverde. The area is very safe and so is the place, with 24/7 receptionists checking who comes in and out. The place has everything you need for a long stay, and we found it very comfortable – and it's also very cheap compared to others in the area.
Copacabana in general can be a bit noisy, especially during Flamengo games, and especially in seasons in which Flamengo wins the championship and Copa Libertadores – but I don't think this place wasn't particularly more noisy than others in the area. Just know that Copacabana is like that. I am a light sleeper and I always sleep with earplugs (even when it's really quiet tbh) and with them on I slept very well, which is not always the case in very noisy areas.
We never met Fernando, but he was really quick to answer every one of our doubts, help us out with checkout and when something needed to be attended in the apartment.
We cleaned the place from scratch when we checked in, but not because it was particularly dirty. It seemed like it was cleaned quickly prior to our arrival and the cleaner did the most visible parts but missed a couple of spots. This was our impression, I'm not suggesting in any way that it really happened. Overall, we gave it four stars for cleanliness.
The only real negative for us was the mattress: it's old and not very comfortable; it definitely needs changing, and we have suggested this to Fernando.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and recommend the place. It is a lot cheaper than many others we found in the area, and that comes with a couple of drawbacks, but if you've travelled a bit and are not looking for a 5-star hotel you will be able adjust. Good value for money.
