We really enjoyed our time in Omar's flat - it's a short walk from Copacabana beach front (2 mins) and has everything you need. It was particularly helpful to have a washing machine available! There's loads of stuff in the area, plus it's not too far for a quick taxi trip to Ipanema or Leblon for the shops. The flat itself is really nice and spacious, though the guest bedroom is pretty small and doesn't have full blinds so might be a bit bright in the mornings. Would highly recommend the place though!
