Superb location to stay in Copacabana. My wife and I stayed for 11 nights and found that our appreciation for the location, security, amenities, proximity to activities within Rio and benefits grew continually. The beach, stores, supermarket and restaurants are all very close and within walking distance. The apartment is very accurately described and much more suitable than many of the hotels in the area. The building is completely secure and the apartment has a small safe (like a hotel safe size) for storing some valuables if needed. Some really nice extra features are the free WiFi (which works perfectly on all devices) and for those interested there are a half-dozen English television channels for movies, etc. on the cable box. The air conditioning in the apartment is central air and also works perfectly in all the rooms. The cleaning staff, doorman and people who staff the front desk are all very friendly, helpful and professional. We did not meet our host Janaina since she was not in the city during our visit, but we did communicate with her via Email many times and she was extremely prompt with replies and very helpful and hospitable in every regard. We did not use the small pool on the roof - mainly because it was preferable to go to the beach. Also, since there was dishes, cutlery, etc. in the apartment we mostly did breakfast in the apartment. There is really nothing to be said that is negative about this apartment, its features, host, location, security, price, etc. and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay while in Rio that they should consider booking this space.
