I highly recommend this apt. It's a great place in a great location. The apt is rather large, has been newly renovated and is two short blocks from Copacabana beach. My girlfriend and I also stayed at another one of Renata’s properties nearby and really liked the Copacabana area. There are plenty of restaurants, shops and bars close by, and of course you have a world class beach just a couple blocks away which was the main attraction for us. We also did quite a bit of walking and this apt lends itself to a 20ish minute walk to Ipanema beach and a 40ish minute walk to Leblon. I highly recommend making those walks as you end up on a series of world class beaches the vast majority of the time and views and beaches are stellar.

Working with Renata was a pleasure. She was flat out great and has been the best host and person I have come in contact with while using airbnb. We had a change of plans and needed to make this reservation at the last minute and she was able to accommodate. Our flight also didn't leave Rio until the late evening and she was a huge help in locating a place where we could leave our bags for the day.

We hope to make a trip to Rio again at some point and when we do we will definitely reach out to Renata. Thanks again for all your accommodations, recommendations and help Renata. It was all very much appreciated.
