Beautiful location and apartment right near Copacabana beach. Apartment is in need of some repairs - some floorboards lifting, bathroom sink pipes leaking/coming undone, shower door in main bedroom not closing, washing machine not working. However, the host was very responsive in sending a repairman out for the washing machine and washing our clothes during the time it was out of action. Communication with the host was excellent and the apartment is beautiful and spacious. Please note this apartment does not have a water filter.
