We arrived late in the afternoon and she was waiting for us with a bright smile and very friendly. The apartment was very clean and neat as advertised in a quiet neighborhood. Within walking distance you find restaurants, Laundromats, drugstores and supermarket. 6 Blocks walk to the beach.

I really like the apartment. It is located in the heart of Copacabana but in a quiet area where you can sleep in after a night out with your friends.

The bedroom is large with shutters that can be opened or closed. The apartment faces a park so it’s nice to look out of the window in the bedroom and check out the neighborhood. It has everything you need except a microwave. It could use a coffee maker too but no big deal we made coffee with a filter and hot water poured into a coffee pot. She does have an Italian coffee maker but it’s small and we needed a lot of coffee in the morning, LOL.

The little dining table is right next to a window, which is nice in the morning. The apartment had so many cute little knick-knacks. It has a very laid back vibe to it. It’s perfect for a couple or a couple with 1 child.

How did you host make you feel welcome?
Very much. She seemed to be genuinely happy that we were there. When we arrived and was very friendly when we left as well.

Was the listing description accurate?
Very

What was the neighborhood like?
A little haven in the city of Rio. Quiet, but the park across the street is a gathering place for kids to play soccer, and there seemed to be capoeira classes and other classes going on at different points during our stay. It seems to be a gathering place but in a good way.

What did you love about staying at this listing?
The location.

How can your host improve?
Coffee pot and microwave. Microwave only for heating up leftovers brought back from a restaurant.
