The apartment is well located in a safe area, a 5 minute walk from Copacabana beach and 10 minutes from the nearest metro. The apartment was more dated and not as bright as the listing photos suggested, but was spacious with a lot of room. A note to potential guests is that the apartment had quite a strong musty smell throughout. We also felt that the cleanliness of the space could have been a lot better. Viviana is a very accommodating and responsive host, and kindly let us check in early as well as letting us store our luggage until late in the evening.
