It's an old apt run by a very nice lady. Her daughter Joana was very quick in responding via airbnb. The porter Mara was super helpful and attentive. I haven't noticed any bugs mentioned earlier. Yes, the room is basic and the apt isn't a palace, but that's why it costs so little for a such great location: Copacabana beach, metro, shops, supermarkets, even Starbucks! The bedroom was quiet and apt had everything I needed. Obrigada:)
