Our stay in Rio was great from the beginning. Apartment is located between Copacabana and Ipanema beach, short distance to beach, store, restaurants. Place is clean, has all necessities, AC is big help during hot nights. Building is under security for 24 hours with underground garage if you need to park your car. Roberto is awesome host. He communicates within hours of being asked question, he helped us with personal request which was big save. We will definitely come back to stay overnight in the same apartment if in Rio again.
