Hasan and Marina are fantastic hosts. Communication perfect throughout. Apartment in a lovely safe building which has a doorman on reception 24/7. Apartment had everything we needed including a washing machine, iron, ironing board, and clothes horse to hang your washing on. 2 minute walk to Copacabana beach and plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes in the area and a mini market next door for your essentials. Hasan was even on hand when we stupidly locked ourselves out of the apartment! Would recommend to anyone going to Rio!
