We really enjoyed our stay at Renata's apartment in Copacabana.

The apartment was very clean and there are excellent beach/ocean views from the room. The space itself is on the upper floor of an apartment building that is staffed 24/7 which made us feel safe. It is a studio flat with a double bed, small sofa, bistro table and chairs, a kitchenette with stove and fridge as well as a bathroom. The space is not huge but definitely big enough for two people!

The apartment is also very well located - it is situated toward the west end of Copacabana meaning it is easily possible to walk north-east along the whole of Copacabana beach, or west into Ipanema and Leblon neighbourhoods. It is also close to a 'Zona Sul' supermarket and many restaurants, banks, taxis, etc.

As a host Renata was friendly and attentive - she clearly loves meeting new people and making them feel welcome in Rio. She offered to answer any questions we had before and during our stay and made a point to get to know us as guests. We even ran into her in the supermarket! She was also flexible with regard to our late arrival time, and had her husband meet us at the flat late in the evening and then checked in on us herself by email the following day.

We would definitely recommend this apartment to others visiting Rio!
