My husband and I had an amazing stay at Alex's apartment in Copacabana, just a couple of blocks from the Copacabana beach. We were touring South America for 3 weeks and this apartment was the best AirB&B we stayed. It had all the amenities we needed as travelers (laundry machine, very nice bathroom, comfortable bed and nearby shops). Alex was also very hospitable and had awesome local insights to share. The apartment is a bit small but it's enough for 2 people. If you are light sleeper, make sure to bring ear plugs because the walls are very thin and you can literally hear everything (voices, TVs, dogs, cars, lights, etc) in the street as well as people next door. Overall it was a very comfortable stay. Worth the price.
