I had a ball staying at this apartment. It is very close to the beach centrally located in Copacabana with a great restaurant directly across the street. Exala, She was very responsive when I had questions regarding the apartment. Maria the woman who meet you with your keys was very nice and polite. The play I was very clean I will definitely stay here again if I need to my next trip here to Brazil. I recommend that you stay here with her because she is a great host. Thank you Exala.
