What you see is what you get here. A well styled sophisticated looking roomy efficiency. Great location two blocks from Copacabana Beach (where you can take the jogging trail along the beach all the way to Leblon) and close to Impanema and all the popular sights. There is a great kitchen counter for working or eating in. Nice area with a great coffee/snack place around the corner (even though the coffee provided was good). Building security is great and the doormen were pleasant and helpful. Alex was a great host, meeting us at midnight since the flight in was delayed. He even called during the stay to make sure nothing was needed. The street outside is convenient for hailing cabs. We never had to wait more than a few minutes.
We will stay here for sure on the next trip to Rio.
