I would stay here again.

We found this place last minute and I'm glad we did. Perfect location. Sixth floor, front-facing view of Leme/Copacabana beach (1 block away). Right across the street is a small supermarket that has most things you need. Next door is a laundromat. There is a nice seafood restaurant (Shirley) a few doors down. Many other restaurants/cafes/eateries within a 5 minute walk. Big American-type shopping mall (Rio Sul) is a 10 minute walk down a safe street. Tons of smaller shops close by. The neighborhood is safe and peaceful with not too much street noise at night. Sleep to the sound of the ocean - very relaxing. The neighborhood folks are friendly. Marcia and her husband Marco are very nice and attentive to any questions you have - they live in a nearby building. Everything in the apartment worked fine - the shower is a little quirky but works fine if you follow Marcia's instructions. Perfect place for two - nice romantic spot.
