I stayed in Copacabana at Roberto's apartment for ten nights. The apartment was exactly how it was described in the listing. Roberto's co-host, Matteo, met me at the apartment and answered all my questions concerning the operations of all the appliances in the apartment, as well as telling me where was the best place to exchange money and to buy groceries near the apartment. Matteo was also there when I left the apartment.
Roberto was a great host and answered all my e-mails promptly. The apartment is in a great location with many shops, restaurants, and local bars close by. It is also less than one block from the beach. The doormen were always on site and very professional. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone that spends time in Rio!
