Denise,
Is the best host I’ve had the pleasure of having after all my years using AirBnB! She is extremely helpful and considerate. The home is very large for an apartment; including bedrooms with private bathrooms and showers (spacious with modern fixtures and appliances) and large built-in closets. The home in very nicely decorated and located on a quiet and well maintained street monitored by gate guards 24/7 and a house manager for the apartment complex six days of the week. This is unusual because this apartment is situated in the most beautiful, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood of Rio based on my week long adventures across the city. The apartment is a two minute walk from a few Botecas and 5 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores, the metro, and clothing stores. Not to mention only a 10 minute walk to the best beaches! This home is priced much lower than the value of the accommodation. I highly recommend staying here rather than a commercialized hotel in Copacabana. I will be booking with Denise for all future trips to Rio.
