I would definitely recommand that place. Its big advantage is the perfect location, in the heart of Copacabana, right across the street you are at the famous beach, and of course you have all you need very close - plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, bus stations, cabs just a few steps. The appartment is located on the eigth flour, and from it you have a very nice view on the beach. Two people fit in without problem. WIFI is fast. The flat has all you need to prepare food. It is very safe, the access to the building is strictly controlled. Communication with the host Luciana was very fluid, very fast, she responded very fast, and resolved all the issues and gave very many good, helpful and practical advises about what you can do in Rio and in Brasil generally, and even during the stay she was very responsive to any problem. She is a very kind person. I arrived early in the morning and was allowed to checkin in the morning already without extrapay. Only little minus is that at night in can be a bit noisy - as it is right on Copacabana, a very busy area, and the AC - if you need it- is also a bit noisy. But none of these details change the overall positive experience of my stay. It has a very good price-quality-ratio
