Pros: great view of Christ the Redeemer from the apartment, wonderful rooftop deck with views that cannot be appreciated in photographs. The deck has a small pool, grill, and ample seating with bar stools and lounge chairs. The location is perfect-1-2 blocks from Copacabana beach. Bob was very nice, helpful, and was there for us upon arrival. We did not meet Carline but both of them were very helpful before arriving via email and responded promptly. Cons: The apartment was not very clean. We had a pretty substantial leak into the apartment on our first night as well, but Bob did respond quickly. The room has enough bedding to sleep 4 people but 4 people definitely cannot fit (luckily it was just 2 of us).
