I'd rent the p;lace again. The location is very good - in Copanema. That is on the border of Copacabana and Ipanema. The apartment itself is quite large, a big plus for apartments in the area. Johnny, the owner, is very helpful and responds quickly; the apartment manager however leaves a lot to be desired and uses a faulty memory as an excuse for bad service. But as I said at the beginning of this review, the place is very good, it's a large apartment in a desirable area and I would rent the place again from Johnny given availability.
