Ive rented in Rio before and have been disappointed when actually showing up to the location. I had no disappointment when i walked through the doors and saw where home was going to be for the next 7 days. The spacious apartment just feet from copacabana is exceptionally clean and remodeled in a very modern fashion. He provides you with every kitchen applicance and dish possible. To its centralized location where you have the option to enjoy your day on copacabana or walk to ipanema beach. Grocery stores and delicious restaurants are also with in walking distance. Security is tight and gives you a real sense safety. As stated the view from the living room is breath taken and the host is very attentive. I contacted him several times for help and he returned my call/texts with in the hour. Highly recommended this location for your stay. I know i wont be staying anywhere else.
