Perfect location! Close to everything and the best view right on the beach - do not pass on this opportunity!
Supermarkets and restaurants are close by. Ipanema and Arpoador are minutes from this great apartment and you have the choice of 2 Metro Stations within walking distance to connect you to other parts of Rio. This made it very easy to get around either on foot or by metro.
The apartment is quiet, except for the lively music or blocos you could hear coming up from the beach but we stayed during Carnaval so expected to be a lot noisier & busier. It was great to be in an area that was a little less populated than other parts of Copacabana. Even the beach seemed to be less busy than other spots which meant we could come and go as we pleased since there was never any time that the beach was too overcrowded.
The apartment itself is exactly as per pictures so be confident in knowing exactly what you're booking. The kitchen is small but we managed with 5/6 people over the course of 11 Nights and the living area was comfortable enough for us all during meal times.
Everything is so handy and makes for such a stress free vacation.
Our first trip to Rio was definitely enhanced by where we stayed. I would even say this was a big factor in how comfortable and easy everything was - contributing to the overall feel of the trip.
Paola & Isak were contactable during our stay even when Paola was in Europe at the time. Response time to queries was also quick and well organised.
We loved our stay & hope to return again soon!
