We had a wonderful month stay in this very conveniently located apt. (transport, grocery shopping, restaurants, south zone attractions--everything we needed!!). Bernardo and Vera were very responsive and helpful. Before we arrived, we were concerned about being on the 1st floor facing the main (busiest) street in Copacabana, but the double-glazed windows really cut the noise during the day, and in the evenings and nights, the area is quiet. Vera, who lives around the corner, was extremely helpful and thorough with giving us tips about the neighborhood and Rio's south zone, in general--she even arranged a radio taxi to the airport--well done, Vera!! The apt is accurately shown on AirBnB and was very clean. Although it did not affect us as a couple, for larger groups, the 2nd bathroom is really more of a service unit behind the laundry/utility area that is itself behind the kitchen. The kitchen/ laundry were among the best equipped and useful we found in our almost 2 yrs of traveling (and using AirBnB) in SAm. Of course, being around the corner from the Copa beach and a 10 min. walk to Ipanema is fantastic!! We would definitely book this apt. again if we return to Copa.
