We enjoyed our stay in Rio. Débora's apartment is very close to Copocabana beach and there are plenty of amenities close by like supermarkets and banks. The bus from the airport dropped us off practically outside which is great when towing heavy suitcases!Débora is very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to enquiries. Getting hold of the key was extremely easy too.
The apartment is quite small. We felt it was fine for two people but we wouldn't recommend any more. The kitchen is very small and not suitable for preparing meals which is something we like to do. There is a good sized fridge freezer, no microwave, a coffee machine and a sandwich toaster - although that was too dirty with old food to use.
There is a good sized shower with warm water (although not very powerful) and the bathroom makes good use of a small space.
There are two functioning ceiling fans and two stand alone fans which help to keep the apartment cool. There is air conditioning but we found that it didn't cool the apartment.
Due to its prime location you need to be prepared to be woken up early by heavy traffic and beeping horns, so pack some ear plugs!
