Renata is a very friendly and helpful host, she explained everything in great detail when we arrived. She also answered our questions during our stay immediately and assisted us with the taxi. The location might be the very best in Rio, lots of cafes, bars and restaurants around. The weather was not the best during our stay but we could take a walk on the wonderful Copacabana, which is right on the other side of the street. If you never slept right by the ocean before, it might be a bit noisier during the night than you might expect though. The apartment is exactly like in the pictures, tidy and bright. I would definitely recommend the place.
