Would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Rio - its clean, has comfy beds and is in a brilliant location. Also has 24hr security, good for peace of mind.
Easy to get to all the major attractions/areas in Rio as area served by lots of busses and metro stop close by. And obviously being near Copacabana is a massive plus (although sadly it rained for most of our stay, not much beach time for us!)
There were 4 of us staying in the apartment and never had any problems with the shower - which i find important when staying somewhere hot.
Paulo - and his family too - were really good at keeping in touch about the apartment, and making sure everything was OK for us during our stay. Really helpful, and really wanted to make sure we had a good time in Rio. So thank you!!
