This place was in a great location, right between Copacabana and Ipanema with a good coffee shop next door. Wonderful views and the private rooftop pool was awesome. Comfy bed, good air conditioning upstairs, hot shower and we felt safe. The daily cleaning service was nice since we stayed for 5 nights. Do not expect a brand new place, as several things needed repair/replacing (light bulbs, outlets, faucet handles, etc.) The place was perfect for us. Nicely decorated, and Neide was very responsive, even accommodating a late check out for us.
