    The apartment doesn’t have much daylight and the decoration/furniture is very simple, a bit old and moldy. Earplugs help with the noise from the street at night.

    The apartment is big for 2-3 people and very well locatedc close to the beach of Copacabana (posto 4), shops and restaurants. The host Marcia is incredibly helpful and tries to accomodate her guests as much as possible with good tips and in answering very quickly.

    The aircon leaked onto the bed randomly but after contacting Marcia this was dealt with very promptly with no issue at all.

    Marcia was an excellent host and super friendly. I felt very safe in the apartment as a solo traveller knowing there was a 24hr concierge. The location was perfect and the place was cleaned well when I arrived. I would definitely stay again. Thank you Marcia for making my stay very welcome

    The location is fab with the beach practically on your door step. The building felt very secure and there are lots of bars and restaurants on the street below. Marcia, the host couldn’t be more helpful, moving things around to allow us to check in early after a very early flight. I really recommend!

    We unfortunately only stayed for 7-8 hours due to arriving late and having to leave early in the morning so we didn’t get to use/see the majority of the facilities. The property is centrally located in Copacabana. Marcia was so helpful in ensuring our check in + check out process was to be as smooth as possible, it was much appreciated.

    I loved that there was a 24/7 person at the door and that the building was steps from the beach, cafes and other restaurants. The rooftop was also beautiful! Marcia was a fantastic host. She was very attentive and responsive. She even brought me tea and checked in on me when I was sick with food poisoning. I would definitely stay here again!

A small kitchen area with a large fridge, gorgeous lounge area, powerful shower, comfortable bed - but the best part is the spectacular view of Copacabana beach from the bedroom window.

    The building is located right in the heart of Copacabana, just couple of minutes walk to the sea and right next to biking and taxi station. There is 24 hours reception with friendly staff, so picking up the key and leaving the key for a day is great. Apartment is having marvellous sea view. It is clean, spacious and very comfortable for a couple. Big plus is terrace at the top, where you can just hang around and have your breakfast or lunch. The owner of property is communicating and replying fast, explaining questions and helping with any concerns, this way we would love to thank her for making our stay really special, and for all of these reasons we will return.
