We are four adults who had the opportunity to spend six nights in this apartment and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is located between posto 5 and 6 on the Copacabana which is an excellent location to access the beach, Ipanema beach, the night market and the Copacabana fort. Rio has more taxis than cars so getting anywhere in the city is easy and inexpensive .
The apartment is very clean with a large, bright living/dining area that had its own air conditioner. Look out the window to your left and you can see all the action on the beach.
The kitchen is well equipped including basic food supplies. There are a number of food markets located close by.
The bedrooms are small but clean and comfortable with their own TV, air conditioner, storage, and ensuite. The Jacuzzi , which was located in the room we used, does have a shower located on the wall over the tub. The master bedroom has a regular , good size shower stall. The three TV's in the apartment have an extensive satellite system. The wifi worked well while we were there.
The bonus for the apartment is the owner, Andreas, and the property manager/tour guide Peter
From the initial contact with Andreas I was impressed. He always responded quickly to emails and addressed all my questions. I was pleasantly surprised one day, after sending an email with a number of questions about Rio, to have him call me and spend an extended period of time discussing my upcoming trip. He went out of his way to make our visit pleasant
Peter arranged for airport pick up and met us at the apartment. He spent a considerable amount of time going through the apartment with us to familiarize us with everything and then sat with us going over maps that he provided of Rio. He showed us local markets, atms, restaurants and had many suggestions for what we could see and do...even on rainy cloudy days. He organized a cooking class with 'Cook in Rio' which we enjoyed and made arrangements for us to see an excellent Samba show. Peter is very knowledgeable about the city as well of being very friendly and funny. We also went on a 5 hour custom tour of the city with him which was excellent. We walked a far bit and never felt unsafe but we did follow the advise given to us by peter and used the safe in the apartment
I would highly recommend this apartment. You will love the energy of Rio, the luxury of staying in your own apartment and the expertise and support you get from Andreas and Peter.
