Wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable for 3-4 people, beds and baths are nice, aircon kept it cool in the hot humidity of January. Kitchen was well-equipped, and grocery store right across the street. Beach just 2-3 minutes away. Balcony was wonderful for mornings and evenings. Taxis easy to get right out the door and metro closeby. Couldn't recommend more strongly, thanks Valerie and Alex (and Cesar) for a great few days in Copacabana.
