Freddy is an awesome host: From picking us up from the airport and giving us a quick tour of the city, providing us with recommendations with places to eat and things to do, and calling us a taxi when we departed, he has been nothing but friendly and hospitable our entire stay in Copacabana. He's very responsive to any questions and concerns.

His place is very close to beach and public transportation. We literally didn't plan our trip until we got to Rio de Janeiro, yet we were able to hit a lot of things on our list because the location of the apartment made everything so accessible.

The apartment itself is very clean, cozy, and well-decorated. We were able to cook in the apartment with the cookware provided, the bathroom amenities are very nice, and cable TV as well as wi-fi are provided.

All-in-all, I don't think you could ask for much more-- Freddy was a great host, his apartment is in a great location and is very well-kept. I highly recommend this listing!
