It's a great place. Safe area, like a guarded community/street with an own gate. Right in between two big hotels, safe to go out there and walk around, the beach is just 4 minutes walking. Unlike the other review is telling you, you really rent the whole flat. It's quiet there but you are quickly in buzzing Copacobana. Also Botafago is just on the other side of the tunnel I was really positive surprised about the place, it looked in real life even better than on the pictures. And the host is super friendly and tries to fullfill all your wishes. We stayed a whole week and we recommend it.
