Apartment was great & exactly as shown in the listing. Eliana helped check us in & out and situate use for a awesome stay. We stayed over New Years & the location was perfect, 1 and half blocks Copacabana Beach & a short walk to Ipanema. Plenty of convenient shopping right in the neighborhood & an HSBC bank that allowed quick access to cash (able to use Visa debit card, whereas most ATMs around the city seem to be only mastercard). While we spent plenty of time walking from the apartment, when we traveled further it never took over 1 minute to flag down a cab right outside the building. Highly recommend the apartment for couples or individual travelers. Thanks for a great stay!
