We stayed in this apartment for 7 nights over in NYE and loved it. Awesome location a block and a half from Copacabana beach, within walking distance to Galeto Sats (order the garlic bread!) and Cervantes which we ate at a couple of times and highly recommend. Felt safe in this area, the apartment is hated up with a doorman present at all times. The apartment itself is bigger than what the pictures depict. Nice bathroom, spacious shower area with large rainshower, great water pressure, lots of hot water. Lots of plates, cutlery, glasses etc (we ate a lot of takeaway in the apartment). The 2-in-1 washer/dryer was a blessing as we has tons of washing to do after traveling the rest of South America. two TVs with cable channels in English. Finally, Fabio is reliable and super helpful. He orientated us well into the apartment and Rio, drawing points of interests on a map for us which was our bible in Rio. Highly recommended apartment and highly recommended landlord/agent to deal with.
