Everything was just perfect and we could not have wished for more for our first trip to Rio:
Easy, friendly and timely communication before we arrived. The place is in a save area and easy to find. The key was with the apartment reception, therefore we did not have to wait for anybody. Check in and check-out were very easy. The location is perfect: 2 Minutes to Copacabana beach and 5 minutes to Ipanema beach. Lots of supermarkets, fruit shops, bakeries and restaurants nearby. I found a currency exchange office about 5 mins away. Even the flat was so central there was no noise in the night whatsoever.
The view on the 11th floor is wonderful; from my bed in the upper bedroom I saw the Sugar Loaf Mountain and from the balconies we could see the Copacabana sea. We did not use the small pool on the balcony or the big pool on the ground but we used the upper balcony a lot in the early evenings.
Any communication during our stay was answered immediately.
