We stayed at this apartment for carnival 2016. The rate was on the cheaper end of the scale compared to many places around Rio during this time. It is well situated as explained in the description, very close to copa beach and surrounding attractions including metro. Copacabana palace is only a five min walk away where many tours depart. The apartment is high up in the building and faces the main road, it can be a bit noisy at night if there are people around or lots of traffic but not unbearable. There is always a doorman downstairs to let you in or out. The space is cosy but clean. The kitchen provides basic equipment for cooking and also a kettle for coffee/hot water, there isn't a hot water tap but boiling water will do you fine. The bathroom is tidy with a big shower. The bed is actually two single beds plus a extra sofa for a third person. We arrived extremely late due to delays in flights but were greeted by Leilas husband who was terrific in welcoming us and giving us advice about Rio! Leila was always on hand to answer any questions we had both before and during our stay! Overall we had a positive stay in Rio and in this apartment and would recommend this to anyone wanting accommodation around the Copacabana area! Thank you Leila!
