The photos accurately depict the beauty of this spacious apartment and its fabulous location, peering 11 floors up, over the length of Copacabana, but they cannot quite convey the wonderful atmosphere of Leandro’s place. From this magical perch and a full length balcony, one is able to survey the comings and goings below. Sun or storm - the view is intoxicating with the experience enhanced by the sound of the crashing, Atlantic surf. The apartment feels fresh and welcoming. It’s a place to relax or to use as a base to explore the shops, cafes and restaurants of Copacabana and Rio at large. Security is excellent - provided by a 24 hour doorman service and there is access to the front and back streets. Would have liked to stay forever but sadly had to return to London. Will be back. Thank you Leandro and Dudu for being so welcoming and helpful.
