This apartment is located between Copacabana and Ipanema on the 2nd floor. It's a very convenient location for beaches and restaurants. Beaches are just a 5 minute walk away and there are some restaurants just next to the building. It's a good size for 2 guests but you can have 4 with the sofa bed. There are 2 air conditioners so it's very comfortable inside. There are maids that come to clean rooms daily if you want just like a hotel. The 24 hour front desk is very convenient for security and convenience. You can check in any time. Alessandra is a great host and was very quick to respond to any of our requests. We had a car during part of our stay so the free parking was very important. The only issue is the building construction next door. It can get a bit noisy sometimes on weekdays between 9AM and 5PM. Alessandra has more apartments in the building so it's better to get a higher floor.
