We stayed at Vivian’s place during the peek-season New Year’s Eve, where everything is overpriced. With my evaluation I just wanna be objective: the apartment is basic and kind of old. The kitchen looks like an improvised camping grill where the oven is based on some chairs feet. That could be dangerous if you have small children because the oven is unstable and they might pull it down to floor easily. The furnitures and the sofa are really old. The provided internet is enough for social networks but not enough strong if you need to work or browse the internet.
The apartment is well located, close to Copacabana beach and the Metro Station Cardeal Arcoverde where you can easily reach the rest of Rio. Among the street and around the area there are lots of restaurants, cafes, pharmacies and supermarkets.
The apartment has A/C in the bedroom but not in the living room. Shower had good running of water (warm and cold).
There is a 24h security in the building.
Let’s say that if you are looking for a place in Copacabana where you mostly need just to sleep, it could be a good deal if the price is acceptable.
