Sandro is an exceptional host. He was very friendly and attentive to all my needs as a guest. He even gave me a 1 month guest pass to the local gym. The place is maintained very cleanly. A cleaner comes by once a week. My room was in the back of the property and very quiet and spacious. I really loved the room. The location is good. Close to most everything in Copacabana. Make sure you check the guest rules before you book. Kind of a strange rule, but I didn't even realize you were not allowed to bring other people to the apartment until after I had already booked here.
