I had a really great stay in Freddy's apartment and would strongly recommend it! Firstly, the location is great - just a few blocks from Copacabana beach and in a good area where you can find everything. The apartment itself was excellent; I slept so well there that I didn't want to leave! Despite being so central, the apartment backs onto an atrium, so the apartment is very quiet. The flat was very comfortable, clean and well equipped, including a nice bed and a good shower. I also felt completely safe as there was always a security person at the front desk of the apartment building. Dealing with Freddy was a pleasure; he was always prompt and helpful, and collecting and leaving the keys was very easy. This is a great place to stay and Freddy is a great host!
