The apartment is well located in the heart of Copacabana. Area seemed safe even at night and had a few restaurants in and around for meals. Lots of buses going to various parts of the city from a couple of stops across the road. Many money exchanges. Excellent cafe downstairs for a nice simple breakfast to start the day. The apartment itself was nice with plenty of room, light and wind. No complaints. Malu had stocked up the fridge with drinks and food and also provided fruits and crackers. Coffee machine worked fine. Wi fi was functional. Bathroom was in good working condition. Water heater worked fine. Only minor complaint was the duct in the bathroom which was a source of smell, construction noise and dust. But not a major irritant. All in all...a good stay. Thanks Malu.
