Highest recommendation possible, our family of 2 adults + 2 teenagers thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely our favorite home away from home. Pictures are accurate, the view out the front windows is to die for, you see ocean from the breakfast table. Actually the cleanest, newest apartment we've ever rented through AirBNB anywhere (including Europe), the entire apartment obviously recently refurbished/completely rebuilt. Modern split A/C in both bedrooms and the living area, although used very little in the living area, preferred to leave the windows open. Internet was great, I Zoom-meet for work all day for a tech company and the two kids had remote classes, worked out without a glitch. Kitchen area small but well-equipped and more than functional, integrated American-style to the dining/living area, so feels larger. The building itself is showing it's age, like all traditional buildings in Copacabana, but felt well-managed and safe, 24-hour doorman coverage, sits at the front door and scrutinizes who comes in. Elevators worked well. Across from the beach and on the corner just near the Copacabana Palace, area with a lot of foot traffic. Used the included beach chairs and did laundry. Some thought has obviously gone into kid (and adult) safety, sharp corners (kitchen, dining table) have rubberized coverings, the larger living room window has a grate covering the lower part for safety.
