This is an attractive renovated apartment located close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. It is well equipped with appliances, air conditioning and is very comfortable for a longer stay. It is a well appointed apartment, safe and secure. It is located up a hill (5 - 10 minutes walk) from the main street so you must be prepared to walk up and down to get to the beaches and restaurants, but don't let that deter you from staying at this wonderful apartment. The host and the property manager are very friendly and cooperative. We will stay there the next time we visit Rio!
