The neighbourhood of the apartment is surrounding with bars, restaurants, banks, supermarkets and ect. Copacabana beach is less then 100 mtr. from the apartment and arpaodor/ipanema beach is around 600 mtr. The apartment itself is small, quite and clean. I did have a good stay and will come back if i go again. The contact with Eric was perfect. .. thx Eric for staying in your apartment.
