This home is located just 2 blocks from Copacabana beach near posto 5 and very close to restaurants and grocery stores. It made getting around very easy. As an early review noted there is no AC in living areas only in Bedrooms. This can be a problem on days that it rains all day and is still very hot. Our trip had quite a few of those. We were fine overall. Also, the bathrooms were not as clean as we expected but not unsalvagable. The place is as it looks execpt the second bathroom is only a half bath and doesn't have a shower. We would stay here again if the beds and baths met our needs.
