The place was fantastic. I came with 3 friends and I stayed in the master bedroom. The master bedroom is spacious enough to be it's own studio apartment. The shower water was mostly luke warm but with Rio's weather in December, that really didn't matter. The stove in the kitchen was placed in an awkward spot. The space is not really ideal for cooking. The highlight of the apartment was the balcony and view of Copacabana Beach. It's just as beautiful as the pictures. Overall, the place was great and I got a good price I guess due to an early booking. The only issue I had was a change in house rules when I got there. I was previously assured that guests would be allowed but upon arrival was told that guests would not be allowed due to policy changes in the building. We made it work, and overall the trip worked out.
