We really enjoyed the apartment, it's spacey and comes with all you may need from kitchen to washing-machine till flat-iron etc... In a "calmer" area of Copacabana but very close to the beach, subway, some restaurants, supermarket, juice-bars, banks and money-changers. Safe building. Gabriel is very friendly, responded quickly and also offered help for the continuation of our trip.. Thanks Gabriel, we miss Rio and your place very much!!
