We were happy to spend the first week of our trip to Rio in Copacabana in this cute, safe neighbourhood where it was easy to find our way around (we later moved to Botafogo, where we felt it was more caotic.. way more traffic!). There's plenty of supermarkets and cafes nearby. The metro is 3 blocks away. The beach just two blocks away (that was awesome!).

The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures: very clean and comfortable. Even if the kitchen was small, we had no problem cooking there (which we did every day).

Carolina kept in touch frequently to smooth our arrival and also gave us some very good tips about what to do in Rio.
We strongly recommend this apartment.
