The flat is ideally located, in the very heart of Copacabana, so everything you need is 5min walk tops, from international banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas, juice bars, bakeries, food outlets, and of course the beach(es)! Downstairs, jump in any cab and you will be in one of Rio’s main sightseeing gems in less than 20 min. You will appreciate the safety of the building, the extremely well-thought layout of the flat, the urban flavor of the venue, and the dainty treats prepared by the host to sweeten your arrival ( free sodas, water, beer, juices, and the fresh flowers). You will find that Bruno is very attentive host, genuinely eager to make your stay agreeable, and extremely helpful in advising about things to do and neighboring hot spots to eat. The communication with him was very fluid. The street side of the flat can at times be a bit noisy, but not to worry, it is part of Rio’s hustle-and-bustle and goes with the flat’s very central location.
