Amazingly located spot in the Copacabana area. Arno and Igor were very responsive and provided lots of local tips and advice. The apartment had a doorman, was right by the elevator and the keys were provided by a lockbox located at the side of the apartment door. It’s in close proximity to all the major touristy spots (Christ the Redeemer, Escadaria Selarón, and Sugarloaf), with the furthest location being about a 20 min drive away. We liked the little touches, such as having two beach chairs at the apartment, which were very convenient when going to the beach. The beach is about 3 blocks away. All we had to do was rent an umbrella at the beach for $10 or $20 R, depending of what time of year it is. There are many restaurants, bakeries and bars that open late in the area. My girlfriend and I especially liked Atlantica bakery, located about 2 blocks away. We will definitely stay here again whenever visiting Rio again. The location is great, close to everything. But still has the feeling of being away in quietness. Would recommend to anyone doing a short stay in Rio, you will definitely have a wonderful experience.
