Apartment is great for long term stays, I was here for 3 months. it is centrally located, technically in Copacabana but near to arpoador. Copacabana is just down the street, and it's only a 5-10 minute walk to Ipanema. close to lots of stores and markets, as well. the internet is very strong and I thought it was adequate for working from home, notwithstanding a few problems with the wifi. overall, the apartment is great and Junior was very responsive to any inquiries I had. I will definitely be returning! soon!
