Claudia's apartment was very clean. The self check-in was easy and convenient. She was easy to communicate with and replied quickly. The location is great: lot of options for grocery shopping, Copacabana Beach is 3 minutes by foot and Leme Beach is close by. Perfect to visit Rio (we used Uber which is extremely cheap in Brazil). If you are not use to stay in a city, note that the apartment is located in the lively neighborhood of Copacabana. So if you are a light sleeper I would suggest earplugs to sleep at night as it might get noisy at times. My sister and I felt safe staying there. There is a closed gate in front of the building and a security guard in the lobby. I would recommend her place.
