The apartment is very nice, spacious, full equipped, 2 large bedrooms (the matress is very good), and with a very large balcony, from which we can see brazilian life (no noise during the night). The doormen are very kind, and we haven’t heard noise from neighbours. Juste one precision : the bedrooms have no air conditionner, there is only one ventilator which isn’t enough for the two bedrooms, and too noisy to be on during the night (almost 40° the week we were in Rio). The apartment is situated 2 mns walk from the copacabana beach and subway (cardeal arcoverde) which go to zona sul Ipanema, and zona norte to the Centro very fast, near supermarkets, post office not very far. And to return to the airport, there is a taxi station just at the end of the street. Max is very helpful. Obrigada, Max !
