We were happy with our experience and recommend the property and host. Renata was responsive, friendly, professional and helpful, including providing a list of suggestions of restaurants and things to do/see. The apartment was located directly across from Copacabana Beach, so it was an excellent and safe location. The bundling has a doorman 24/7. The apartment is on the top floor of the building with a beautiful view of the beach. We were into town for only a few days and enjoyed our time walking the beaches and watching the sunset from Fort Copacabana one day and Corcovado another. I am a light sleeper and had difficulty sleeping with the street noise on the first night, but my husband slept like a baby. We did leave the windows open so we could hear the waves and enjoy the sea breeze, though. It may have been quieter if we'd used the air conditioner, but we preferred not to use it. I listened to classical music for sleep the next night and slept well. The shower had excellent water pressure!
