Great experience in this apartment!! We are a young couple and it was everything we asked an needed for. We didn't meet Alessandro the first day but he easily arranged a pick up servirce (Airport-Apartment) with his driver 'Alex' (not english speaker but he is very friendly and kind). You can call Alex during your stay if you want to arrange any taxi trip in RIO.

With respect to the apartment we can said only good things:
- Excellent location (2 blocks from Copacabana, Supermarket just in front of the bulding, Bus stop, Taxi stop...everything)
- Well equiped kitchen with everything you need to cook. Also has a filter that gives you cold water (very goood).
- Clean and equiped bathroom. (Big shower, hot water with no problems.
- The apartment has a confortable double bed and also a bed-sofa. - Also has a big smart-TV with satelite channels.
- The most important thing (that not always is good in hotels) is that has SPEEDY wifi...indeed is very speedy...
- You know that Rio is a hot city, so the air conditioner inside the apartment is essential. It worked perfectly!!

The only "bad thing" (we didn't have a problem with this because we sleep under any circuntance) is that the building is on a street with a lot of traffic during the day and night, so you can hear cars all over again. In our opinion is a minor thing.

The last day we had the chance to meet Alessandro and he turns out to be a really nice person and friendly. We have to notice that he speaks English and Spanish (and obviously Portuguese).

Overall: Excellent and recommended Apartment.
