We had good stay at Itala’s apartment. It is located conveniently in Copacobana short walk from the beachfront (you can actually see the ocean from the windows) and the main avenue. Nearby are supermarkets, bars, restaurants etc. Building has 24 hours security guy. There are 2 spacious bedrooms. Itala was very friendly and helpful with check in and check out time. If I have to mention 2 smaller nuisances - the kitchen is not very practical (if you have to use it) and A/C is a bit loud for sleeping (we had very warm nights). But in general it is a simple but nice place to stay.
