The flat is really well-located, just 10 minutes walk from Copacabana beach and close to the Metro, buses and shops. The flat itself is small but well-designed and the three of us managed fine with the use of the sleeper couch in the lounge. The kitchen did need a bit of attention though, the work surface was cracked and there was a lack of cutlery and kitchenware (e.g. oven but no baking tray). Nothing which will spoil your holiday in Rio, but don't count on cooking up anything special.
