Please send Pedro a message before you plan on coming to be 200% sure the apartment you want is ready and available. Although the two apartments that we stayed in were very nice and had great locations, we had to spend extra money (for parking) and extra time (to move between 2 apartments because 1 wasn't ready) because of readiness issues. It would be best to reserve Pedro's apartments far in advance. That being said, the apartments in Copocabana were comfortable and in prime locations!
