The apartment was as described and looked like the picture. The location was a few minutes walk from Ipanema beach and probably 5 to 10 minutes walk to Copacabana. We didn't meet Elizabeth, but her niece met us at the apartment when we arrived. The apartment felt very safe as there's a doorman 24 hours to let you in and out of the apartment. Elizabeth was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Our flight arrived prior to 3pm check-in time and we were able to drop off our luggage and grab a bite to eat. Since this apartment was newly released, there was no information provided/recommendations of nearby places, so we had to search on the internet as well as reached out to Elizabeth for recommendations, which she happily provided. There's a nearby grocery store, probably less than 5 minutes walk to get any essential you may need. I would recommend this apartment to friends and family.
