The apartment totally corresponds to the pictures and the building is very safe. It was perfectly located, just a few steps from the beach in Copacabana and a nice walk to Ipanema. Thais is a nice and kind person. Sometimes communication took some time but she always sorted our tiny problems out. Facing a busy road, the apartment is a bit noisy. Only one of the three bedrooms is fully silent so pls consider it if you can't sleep in a noisy bedroom. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay and truly recommend the apartment if you are travelling with children and want a safe and fully equipped place (dryer included) where to stay.
