We stayed at Raquel & Eduardo's apartment during our first visit to Rio de Janeiro in January, 2016. The location was perfect for both beach activities and touristic attractions such as Pao de Acucar (Sugarloaf Mountain), Ipanema, Botafogo etc. The apartment was enough large for whole my family. The hosts were very warm and professional. Their response was quite quick and effective, which made our vacation happy. This can be an ideal option for those who come with family (especially with kids) and want to spend most of their time on Copacabana beach.
