We really enjoyed staying in this compact but functional apartment. Mr Arildo is very hospitable and accommodating. The flat has got everything one can need. The location is really wonderful, next to the Forte of Copacabana and a few minutes walk from Ipanema, near the metro and close to restaurants and supermarkets. If you are a light sleeper bring earplugs as the main bedroom overlooks a rather noisy courtyard full of aircon units. That said, despite the rumbling noise, we slept well.
