This apartment is newly refurbished and ideal for 1-2 guests. It is situated between the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and is within easy reach (a few minutes walk) of both. The area is very safe with all amenities nearby. The building has three elevators and the apartment is on the 7th floor and you can view the sea at the Copacabana in the distance. The bedroom has twin beds which can be put together to make a superking size bed and a small en suite bathroom with an excellent shower. The air conditioning is new and excellent. There is a washing machine, two ring hob, microwave, large fridge / freezer. There are some very thoughtful touches like a black out blind and a sun blind. I stayed for five weeks and found it to be a great home from home. Nobody likes to leave Rio and I look forward to returning again. Carmen, the host, is very responsive and hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. Anything I needed, Carmen provided, which was very appreciated.
