Lacy met us at the apartment as arranged. We took a coach from the airport to Copacabana for 16Reals each and asked the driver to let us off at Post 4, from there it is a few minutes walk.

The apartment was clean, very quiet, basic but comfortable. There is a television and internet, some reviews have said the internet was slow but it worked really well during our visit.

The local area provided plenty of eating options a few supermarkets and plenty of shops. It is very close to the beach and about 10 minutes walk from a couple of Metro stations.

If I was to visit Rio again I would look to stay in this apartment.
