Denise's apartment was a great place for my five friends and me to stay. There is plenty of space (8 beds), a full kitchen, washing machine, and three full bathrooms. The location is just a five minute walk to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and the street itself always has cabs coming through for easy travel.

Denise was away during my trip but she has a very detailed guide list with general recommendations and restaurant recommendations. In addition, there is a doorman Jose who, while he doesn't speak English, is very willing to help whenever he can.

Thanks again Denise, our stay was great!
