If you are coming to Rio for the beaches and some serious party time, this apartment is for you! Nice apartment in a safe building in a cute neighborhood within minutes of Copacabana beach. Jorge is a very welcoming host who wants his guests to have a good time. Apartment was clean when we arrived, but went downhill from there (it was Carnival, after all). Bunk bed room was very small but had a private bathroom and storage area. Shower was either scalding or frigid. Jorge is helpful with questions and information about the city and is fun to chat with. He also makes a very tasty caipirinha! He likes to have people over so if you are looking for quiet time, stay elsewhere. Overall an interesting and fun stay!
