The location really can’t be beat. Situated half a block from Copacabana, you will hit the white sands in under a minute. We fell in love with the charming neighbourhood lined with trees, a family park down the block and people out and about walking their dogs. It really made it feel like home. Tons of restaurant options, bakeries and bars to choose from. Groceries stores and malls within blocks.
The metro is right outside although we opted to use Uber to save time which cost us under $15 CAD to go to sights like the stadium, Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, Ipanema (also walk-able) etc. Never once did we feel unsafe, and the 24 hour concierge made us feel extra secure.
If you are a light sleeper like me, I do recommend some ear plugs as the restaurants can stay open and busy until late.
The apartment is a good size, we had plenty of room. It’s is nothing fancy but had everything we needed. We
The hosts were great, they checked in on us as soon as we got in and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay again!
