The apartment is very spacious, clean and cozy in a very convenient safe Copacabana location - 1 block to Copacabana beach and near walking distance to the beautiful Ipanema beach, the most famous beaches in Rio de Janeiro. It is very close to supermarkets, 24 hr Pharmacies (every corner has one) , restaurants and food sites, available taxis and ubers, buses, and walking distance to great places to visit : including 20 minutes walk to the Lagoa de Freitas Lagoon. Also walking distance to few famous traditional local bars such as OSORIO, BIP BIP and the restaurant where the Girl from Ipanema was written. Forte de Copacabana is worthy a visit to learn about Brazil History, great view and two good Cafes for breakfast and Lunch. The Host Maria Helena is very attentive and reply immediately any questions or concerns we have. The apartment staff is available and reply promptly (24 hours front desk and Angela). I highly recommend. As any overpopulated urban city in the world, being careful, attentive and walking as a group (never alone at night), the busy populated location offers a great Rio de Janeiro experience.
