Brenda was a very good host. While we have not met personally, she has always been ready to answer my questions. She even let us in the flat until 3 pm because of our later flight. The apartment has a great location and indescribable views over Copacabana. It is located on the 11th floor and is perfectly furnished. We found all we needed there. The entrance is guarded 24 hours a day. The only minus is uncomfortable mattress and bed. But I would choose this flat again and again :)
