The apartment is a bit small for two people for more than sleeping. Cooking in the apartment is difficult.
Nevertheless, the apartment is very well located, near to Copacabana beach (3-5 minutes walking), in a very commercial avenue (all shopping and restaurants facilities).
Louise was not available during our stay but her mother Rita was present and is a very warm person, speaking portuguese, english and french, she's tourism guide and helped for a first discovery of Rio. Very accessible, proposed her help during our whole stay. Very nice!
