The apartment is so great that I ended up extending my stay not once, but TWICE! It's the perfect location if you like to wake up early and go to the beach to watch the sunrise which I did whenever it was a sunny morning. The apartment has a balcony which was perfect. One small detail that was really nice - the bed linens were really high quality which made for very comfortable sleep. Recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Rio and wanting to stay close to everything in Copacabana.
