Our stay in this nice apartment was very pleasant. The place was clean and perfect for our week stay in Rio. There is 24 hour security and a security gate which was very comforting. There are many dining options as well as grocery stores and shopping within a few blocks radius. There was also a Citibank with atm machines that accept US cards which was very convenient. The area had a very safe feel and was we were only about a 5 minute walk from beautiful Copacabana Beach. There were cabs readily available and many bus stops which we used regularly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a home like atmosphere in Copacabana!
