I loved staying in this studio apartment! So much, that I extended my stay. Location was very good, I felt safe, arrived to a very clean space, even though I booked within just a few hours notice. The convenience of having a functional kitchen was great. The street noise didn't bother me, but indeed you will be in the middle of the action in Copa, with a cool view of a morro, the street, and the Rio sky. There were issues with the faucet plumbing, where leaking left the bathroom floor really wet most of the time, but apparently the host will resolve this issue soon. Be sure to ask about how to work the shower and water faucets, because I had challenges and wasn't familiar with the system. Pedro is very quick to respond and attentive, even though he was not physically present. I appreciate being able to stay there, and would recommend the place for anyone who wants a convenient, no-frills stay in Rio.
