We enjoyed our stay in Copacabana for New Year's Eve. Luciana was very helpful and welcoming. The apartment was small but clean. The area seemed safe and was usually full of people. We ate at the restaurant below which had famous sandwiches particularly ones with pineapple. The grocery store near by was convenient. Busses were also near by. The beach was just a short walk away. We ate at Banana's on the Main Street often for breakfast and lunch.
