This studio apartment was perfect for our trip. The location is great for anyone wanting to explore Copacabana and Ipanema. David was a great host. He was really helpful before we arrived in Rio and available at all times if we ever had any questions. The airlines lost our suitcases and he generously offered to communicate with the airline for us and was able to get us our suitcases. The apartment is in a safe area and supper close to the beach, metro, grocery stores, bars, and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place. It cozy but perfect location to explore all Rio has to offer.
