I stayed in João’s apartment for several weeks. The apartment is exactly as pictured: clean, comfortable, well-outfitted, and located in a very convenient area of Copacabana. The location is perfect for enjoying Copacabana and Ipanema as well as for easy access to public transportation that will take you all around the city. As a host, João was extremely helpful and generous. I highly recommend this rental for anyone planning a short or longer stay in Rio de Janeiro.
