The flat is a perfect base for exploring rio and really is one block from copacabana beach.
It is spacious and clean, and the aircon works. The shower is excellent. The sofa easily converts into a bed.
The check in process is exactly the same as arriving at a hotel.
The breakfast is served on the top floor and costs R$17.5, not 15 as advertised. It is very good.
I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone - it is much better value and just as good, if not better than a hotel.
