Duda's apartment is in a "kick arse" location - one block from the Copacabana in a very secure building with lots of amenities in close proximity (shops, pharmacies, restaurants and bars) including public transport (buses and the subway).

The apartment itself has a balcony and is newly renovated with a kitchen (we never used it - meals are cheap and very good in Rio), washer/dryer, 2 TV's, WIFI and a pull out couch.

Duda is very easy going and communicative guy and extremely helpful and contactable 24/7 for any questions, tourist information and potential problems (we had NONE).

Thanks again and we will be back again at some stage...keep it up...you are on a good track!!!!
