This apartment was wonderful. The view is gorgeous and it's conveniently located to a lot of great places. The Copacabana beach is about 10-15 min walk and there are a lot of food places nearby. The metro is close. Ipanema is also close by.
The apartment is clean and comfortable. It does get hot but there's AC in the bedroom and he said he just got more AC units to install.
Marcello is a great host, he's very helpful and he speaks English pretty well, not many Brazilians speak English so he was helpful to talk to about advice for Brazil.
I definitely recommend this apartment. The view alone is totally worth it. Thanks so much!!
