Alan & Catherine were so helpful, we originally had our accomodation cancelled one day before by someone else on airbnb and Alan & Catherine moved heaven and earth to get their apartment ready with very little notice so we wouldn't be homeless! the apartment was great, and was stocked with everything you could possibly need - it felt more like a hotel than an apartment. We enjoyed our stay immensely, whether we were chilling out in air conditioned comfort or taking the short walk to the beach the apartment was ideal for any stay in Copacabana.
