Stayed in this small flat for 3 days. It is located one block from Copacabana on the top floor of condo building. We met with the door man who provided us with the keys. The flat was a tight fit, but had all basics that we needed for the two of us. It appeared as in pictures with improvement of a flat screen TV mounted to wall. Bed was comfortable. Shower is very small, but had warm water. Construction across the street did obstruct your view of beach, but who wants to stay indoors in such an awesome city. Did not get to meet Maria Luiza, but she stayed in regular contact with us throughout the time we were there.
