I have stayed in two locations in Rio. This home and another huge 7 bedroom apartment looking for Copacabana Beach. I would stay at this location 10/10 times. This home has life and personality of its own. It has all the amenities any travel group could want + the privacy of having your own home with very little restrictions. There are local beach bars steps away as well as bigger clubs and beaches just a short Uber/taxi. We felt safe the entire trip. If you are looking to have a good time in Rio, this is where you need to stay.
