Highly recommend staying here if you are wanting to visit Copacabana! It was a very safe place with security. The place was clean and plenty of pillows, linens, towels, dishes, etc. The location was PERFECT! It is like a minute (or less) to the beach and to a place where you can board a bus to Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. We ate at the restaurants on the block and they were delicious! The pharmacy and store is 30 seconds away and we used it often. I don't think there is a better location in Copacabana! We had some air conditioning problems, but the communication was immediate and taken care of fast to make us comfortable. If we return, we will be staying here again.
