We really enjoyed our one-week stay in this apartment. We had plenty of space for three of us, including big comfortable beds in the two bedrooms, and we appreciated the nice bathrooms and hot showers too. The building was quiet, and the porteiros were very friendly and helpful. The building is in a great location, just around the corner from the beach, with good restaurants, bars, markets and pretty much anything else one would need within a block or two. Roger was very helpful and responsive, and gave us some great tips for our time in Rio -- his best advice was sending us to Junior down at the beach (Point da Bruna, #150, between Postos 4 and 5), whose crew took great care of us while we enjoyed the Copacabana sun and sand.
