We enjoyed our stay in this nicely renovated apartment during Carnival. 2 blocks from Copacabana Beach and on a main strip with lots of shops, stores, and restaurants. Grocery store is right across the street. The concierges were nice and helped open the door to let you in and assisted with luggage. The beds are comfortable. Convenient location to get to everything you need, but the street is quite busy and loud. It's on the main bus route. Note that right now, there are only 2 ACs in the back single bedrooms. Even with fans, it is very hot in the summer time. The host is working on installing in the common area and 3rd bedroom, so this will not be an issue for long. Also note, that electricity is expensive in Rio and you will have to pay extra if you go above average use.
