The apartment is as described, and is in an excellent location if you want to spend your trip in copacabana. The location (3 blocks from subway and 0-1 blocks from most major bus lines) is great for getting around Rio. The kitchenette was useful and the AC worked well.

Unfortunately the internet was down while we were there (but has been fixed) and the bed was firmer than we would have liked.

Alexandre was great at communicating with us and was a very helpful host. Overall a great experience.
