Fernando's apartment is on the eight floor at Copacabana (Av Atlantica) with a perfect view over the buzzing beach life. The sun will wake you up (and burn you alive!) while the beach comes to life.
Fernando welcomed me in Portuguese, his wife in English and his son in German. They even had German tourist materials ready for me!
Really outstanding stay. The door men are really friendly and available 24/7.
Copacabana is safe at all times night & day, with great access into other parts of town.
