Manuela's apartment was nice with all amenities. The kitchen has everything one needs for making meals, there is a washer that I did not use. It faces Nossa Senhora de Copa street which can be a bit loud, but that part of Nossa Senhora de C. is not as busy as the lower part, given that there are less businesses and offices. It is a quieter part of Copacabana and it's one block from the beach at Posto 6 for those who know the area. There is a supermarket right next door to the entrance. The house was quiet and pretty private and no guests were allowed according to the owner. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Manuela graciously allowed me to remain in the apt. until 6:30 pm when I had to leave for the airport at not extra cost. I would stay there again.
