The apartment was exactly as described in the advertisement! It was compact but perfectly adequate for what i needed! It was very close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches (less than a 10 min walk from both). And the metro station General Osorio was literally outside the front door. The area felt very safe, something I was quite worried about before I got to Rio as there are lots of stories! Onayr was so responsive to my messages, it was like he was online 24/7!!! I was travelling alone and was a little anxious as I have zero Portuguese, but Onayr insisted that he was at my disposal for anything I needed. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
