Max's place is delightful, exactly as pictured... perhaps even better. The terrace is simply magnificent and became my favorite place to be (I was in Rio to work on a project and spent many a morning and afternoon on my computer while gazing at the neighborhood life). Wi-Fi was fantastic. Great comfortable beds and pillows. Functional kitchen for breakfast and lunches. No stove, just a hot plate, but I was not in Rio to cook :) Lots of places nearby deliver and/or you can pick up directly from the butequim across the street.The porters in the building were very helpful and attentive. The security is great. Jose, in particular, was fantastic: I left a backpack by the elevator when we moved in and he found it and held on to it. It had my IPad and recovering it made my evening! Max was very helpful, communicative, and accommodating. If you have a late evening departure, just make sure to let him know ahead of time. The location is great: easy access to transportation, supermarkets all around. Copacabana is awesome. You will enjoy your stay here.
