It would be difficult to beat this location, complete with a great view of Copacabana beach! My girlfriend and I stayed here for three nights (we stayed at another of Renata’s apt during our trip as well) and had a great time. Copacabana beach itself is topnotch and the apt is a short, half block walk to the beach. We also liked the area quite a bit as the apartment is very near to quite a few restaurants and bars. We also made several walking trips from the apt to Ipanema and Leblon beaches/areas, which is a great way to go and highly recommended as you’re on world class beaches the vast majority of the time.

Renata was flat out great. She was extremely kind, attentive and flexible. She unfortunately had to wait around for around three hours for us as our bus arrival was delayed (If you’re traveling via bus from Buzios, beware! 1001 states that it’s around 2 to 2.5 hours from Buzios - Rio but our trips ended up being closer to 5 hours) but Renata was very understanding when we eventually arrived. We also had a change of plans and needed to make a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate with another one of her properties.

We hope to make a trip to Rio again at some point and when we do we will definitely reach out to Renata. Thanks again for all your accommodations, recommendations and help Renata. It was all much appreciated.
