Great location on Av. Atlanticá right across from Copacabana beach. The view actually overlooks the street to the west behind the building with a view of Rocinha favela in the distance. Easy access to cabs, public transportation and local eateries. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated with excellent wi-fi service! One note: the password for the wifi includes a "j". Please ensure you enter a lower-case "j" versus the capital "J" indicated on the card (took me a few extra minutes to get that one). Phillip provides several power adapters in the room which was helpful. Includes a closet safe and washing machine. There was always a guard at the entrance elevators at the ground level which was great. Overall I was very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Loved Rio!!!
