Great location. Less than 2 blocks from the beach in the heart of Copacabana. There is a good selection of restaurants, nightlife, and grocery stores close by. Security is good with a door man and you also have a fob to enter the front doors at any time. The apartment is penthouse level and there is an open area/patio that offers nice views to the surrounding hills. The living area gets plenty of sunlight and a breeze enters through the open door which makes for a pleasant experience. Gilles was a gracious host and communicative and he was kind enough to let me check-in very early in the morning and offered flexibility on checkout as well.
