The place was small but nice, set at the beginning of Copacabana which was great because the beach was 2 blocks away. There are restaurantes, grocery stores and pharmacies in the same blocks making it easy to get water and other supplies. The building and it's elevator are old but i guess that's pretty much the norm in many places in Rio, or at least Copacabana, but once you get into the apartment its quite nice.
Marco always replied to messages and communicated very well in Spanish which was great, because i didn't speak any Portuguese.
In general a very nice stay.
