The apartment was perfect for me. The location just one block from the beach, allowed me to take my morning 4 mile walk along Copacabana Beach. The building was very secure. The view I had from the room probably could only be appreciated by a photographer. I enjoyed people watching everyday from the window. The bed was very comfortable and weekly the sheets and towels were change by the host. The kitchen was simple with a microwave, nice-sized refrigerator to store food, two-burner stove and all kitchen ware(i.e. Pots, glasses, forks, spoons, plates, etc..). Shower was big enough for two people and the water pressure was great. Overall I felt at home here and would love to stay here again when visiting Rio.
