My needs were a little bit different from most AirBnB travellers: I needed a place to stay for almost two months that would give me the look and feel that I was staying at my own home while visiting my family and friends, and not a sterile apartment that is rented out to as many people as possible. And I was glad to pay a little bit more and stay at Fabiola's apartment, which totally fitted the bill.
Being born and raised in Copacabana myself, I can tell that Fabiola's apartment is above-the-average, as most apartments in Copacabana have terrific living rooms and bedrooms, but have ugly, outdated bathrooms, which isn't the case here.
The location couldn't be better. It is just one block away from the beach, the subway station, the world-famous Copacabana Palace hotel, and the Lido square.
Communication with the host was always outstanding, and she even accepted my suggestions on how to improve her place, promptly fixing any issues that arose during my stay. I would definitely stay here again.
