My husband and I stayed in Iris' and Marise's apartment for 6 weeks and we loved it. The location is great, the building has the kindest doormen (a shoutout to Gilberto and Marcelo), and whenever we needed anything fixed, Marise would kindly jump on it and get it done immediately. Once we got there, we were greeted with an array of breakfast goodies and a very clean apartment. Though there was some construction going on in the building during the day for a few weeks, the apartment was very quiet at night and during the other weeks (especially for Copacabana). The proximity to the beach, great coffee shops and restaurants, and the subway made this a prime location. The apartment is equipped with everything you would need for a long stay, and it is quite easy to maintain in terms of cleanliness. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Marise!
