My boyfriend and I spent our carnival at Paul's apartment. It's a very sweet, cozy studio, perfect for a couple! It's in a perfect location, 3 minute walk from Copacabana in a very lively part of Rio, but being on the 12th floor (with 2 lifts!!) you get to enjoy a good night's sleep aswell! The apartment complex has a guard at the entrance and in general the area is very safe, so you won't need to worry about security! Paul is a very kind host, so we absolutely recomend staying here!
