I stayed in André-Luiz's appartment in Copacabana for 2 months. Everything is exactly as you see in the photos. You will literally be steps from Copacabana beach, lots of inexpensive Brazillian restaurants and bars as well as some of the best high-end cuisine of the city (Like Venga or Émile which are right there). There is a great coffee-bread-desert-sandwich place right around the block too. The apartment is very well equipped, one of the best I have stayed in with AirBNB. All of the kitchenware was new and of high quality: NOT the type of cheap and old stuff you often find in AirBNBs. I especially appreciated the high-end blender, pots and pans and cold water filter. The internet works well and so does the TV and the air conditioner, as does the washer-drier unit. Security is excellent: the police station is just across the street and there is 24-hour door service. Note that the window looks into a large courtyard as other buildings in the block look inward (you'll see what I mean). This means that usually the apartment is very quiet: no street noise. Sometimes you do get some noise from the neighbors. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive. André-Luiz is very considerate and attentive and great at communication. Finally, remember that for the air conditioner to work you have to close the bathroom door and the windows.
