5 star experience staying at Patrick’s beautiful beachfront condo.
Vanessa is the maid included as part of the stay experience and was just an amazing individual who made our time in Copa both special and effortless. Our kids simply loved her.
The building itself is 11 story in old-world Beaux-Arts style. So while the amenities are minimal, the spaciousness and modernism of the apartment more than makes up for it.
The apartment is on the sixth floor and after a very thorough and complete renovation, the result is a beautiful and modern super spacious open plan kitchen and living room facing out with unobstructed views to Av Atlantica, the beach, ocean and beautiful mountainous topography along the coast. There is also an almost hidden half bathroom adjacent to the kitchen. Postcard perfect view.
A hallway towards the rear of the building leads to three very spacious bedrooms along with 3 very nice spacious bathrooms. I should also mention the apartment is floor through and the main elevator opens right into the apartment, secured by floor-to-ceiling glass enclosure. There is also a service elevator to be used when coming back from the beach or for deliveries.
The location: Situated at Posto 5, the location has many many restaurants, bars, shops, etc. Starbucks is 2 blocks away. We felt location was quite safe, but we were there during the pandemic and everything closed by 9p. Vendors set up directly across the street in front of the apartment daily to sell souvenirs and all other types of things. There are two kiosks also immediately in front along the beach to have some beers, simple food and sometimes live music.
This is a truly Carioca experience.
