We loved our time in Renata’s place. New Year’s Eve was so easy with Copacabana Beach so close. We could look out the window and see what was happening on the beach. The building was a great place to be headquartered for our first trip to the city. For such a great location, the apartment was quiet and felt private. And, although we didn’t eat in, everything you need is available at the apartment. We were happy to be near the beach, but Río de Janeiro is so much more than the beautiful beaches. Ask Renata for recommendations of other things to do while in town. She has lots of ideas and is willing to share.
