The flat was in a great location one block from Copacabana beach, within easy reach of bars, restaurants, supermarkets and a laundry, and had a 24-hour concierge. Our host Danielle was very helpful and was there when we arrived with a welcome pack and lots of information about the area. She was very responsive during our stay (not that we needed her much), including recommending a guide who showed us round 'old-time Rio'. We had a great time visiting one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
