The apartment is ideally located, it is a couple of minutes walk to the beach, there are stores and restaurants within a few minutes walk as well. The particular area of Copacabana is more residential and much more quiet, yet so convenient. The apartment is bright, airy simply and tastefully furnished. The owner and her assistant are both excellent at immediate communication with any questions. Door staff is friendly and helpful and security is very good. We have stayed in a number of places in Copacabana over the past 22 years and this has apartment offers the most in the price range. On our next trip we will look no further, we just hope that it will be available.
