Freddy is an amazing host. He is very accommodating. We had a bad hostel experience and needed a place to stay as soon as possible and he was amazing with that. Freddy was there waiting outside to greet us and was just friendly and happy all around. He was very helpful asking if we needed anything and would check in through email to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. His place is very nice. It is very clean and the building is nice and quiet. There is a concierge who rings you in and is very friendly. If you want an amazing location in Copacabana then book with Freddy. The apartment is a 3 minute walk to the beach and is on a Main Street with many little cafes and restaurants. We extended our stay with Freddy because of the amazing location. You can even walk to Ipanema if you are up to it. It's about a 20 minute walk but very nice. Wouldn't hesitate to book with Freddy again!!!!!
