We felt the standard of the apartment is a bit low compared to other airbnb's for similar prices, but maybe it was pricier because of the carnival. You can tell it is an older apartment. Beds were comfortable and wifi was working well for us to work and stream netflix. Pilar is a great host and will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We had enough towels, toiletries etc for our entire stay and was asked if we needed more. The apartment is located on a quiet street close to Copacabana beach, Starbucks, supermarkets and lots of other restaurants. The doormen and women are much nicer than in other buildings we've stayed, and although I don't speak Portuguese it does make a difference if a doorman says hi or doesn't say a word.
Obrigado Pilar!
