Our stay at Monica's apartment in Copacabana was wonderful. Her apartment is in a great location - within walking distance to many restaurants, the beach, shops/supermarkets, subway/buses. The building itself is safe with a 24/7 security guard. Additionally, the apartment was clean and comfortable; Monica provided all the supplies necessary for our stay. Monica herself was a lovely host. She responded quickly to all questions, offered helpful advice about what to do in Rio, and provided clear, easy to follow instructions. We really do not have any complaints about our stay here.
