I definitely recommend staying in Peter’s apartment. It is a good size (big enough for a couple), is fully equipped with a comfortable bed, sofa, smart TV, wifi, phone, wardrobe, bedside table and lamp, small table and chairs, bathroom with a good hot water supply, & fully equipped kitchen. Peter also bought a new blanket, hairdryer and jaffle maker while I was there. It’s in a great location (copacabana, 5 mins walk from Ipanema), and in a secure building with 24 hour doorman. You won’t find better value for money than this apartment in Rio.
