Max's apartment was just perfect for a fantastic stay in Rio. The location, just behind the Copacabana Place Hotel is in the most perfect of locations and makes a great base to explore such a vibrant city and looking out over a pedestrian only side road made sure that outside noise was kept to a minimum aiding a good nights sleep. The beach was a few minutes walk away, not too far to carry the supplied beach chairs. As for the apartment itself, it had everything we required. A comfortable lounge area with cable TV and WIFI, good beds and a fully functional kitchen. But the apartments main feature is it's balcony, which is large and is the ideal place to have breakfast and to chill out of an evening with a long cool drink. As for Max, he is the perfect host, always on hand if required and willing to give advise to make any stay in Rio so enjoyable. We will be coming back.
