I can't over emphasize the location only a few meters from Copacabana Beach! The apartment is also very nice and beautifully decorated. Also it was very hot when we were there and the air conditioning in the apartment did a great job of keeping us comfortable. It has a water filter which is a nice touch because it eliminates the need to always go and buy bottled water at the grocery store, which by the way, is right around the corner. In fact, everything you need is only a short walk away. The apartment is on the 8th floor which eliminates a lot of the street noise below. We stayed there for a month and really wanted to stay longer. One more thing, the property manager, Peter, speaks fluent English and was always there when we needed him for anything. The owner, Andreas, is a very nice person who made sure that our stay went well. Security is good as there is a door man or woman there 24/7 to screen all persons entering the building. The internet connection there is fast so I was able to use my Roku to see a lot of U.S. tv stations. All in all, I would gladly return for another stay there.

We spent four nights in this apartment and had a wonderful time! Having a nice, comfortable, updated place to stay was a big relief, especially after a long day of sightseeing. The kids had their own bedroom and TV. Minutes from the beach , restaurants, groceries, pharmacy, and a 10 minute walk to the metro, this apartment worked out very well for us. We cooked a few times and did our laundry. What made it stress-free was the knowledge that you could reach someone (Peter) if you had a question or needed something. Andreas was very responsive before we got there. He and Peter arranged for airport transfers and we had no problems getting to and from the airport. Overall, a wonderful experience!

We spent a month in this apartment and were totally comfortable and felt at home. It is amazing how close grocery stores, a bank, the beach and public transport were. We found our way around the city and when we had a question Peter was always available through WhatsApp. Everything went smoothly just as they had said. We would recommend this property wholeheartedly.

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.

What can I say, simply the best place to stay in the best location with the best possible help from Andreas .......... Peter will help you every step of the way and is so obliging. I can't fault this gorgeous place and the gorgeous folks that look after you and the apartment. Well done - simply the best!! I'd go back in a heartbeat. One of my highlights the gorgeous painting of Cristo - such sweet memories xx

The four of us were there for World Cup and had an amazing stay. Location, location location. You're literally across the street from Copacabana and a short walk to Ipanema. Everything you need is walking distance and the area is very safe. The apartment is well maintained and has all of the modern accommodations necessary to make your stay an enjoyable one. Although there is a lot going on around you, the unit is relatively quiet. You will not regret it. Andreas is a pleasure to work with and his right hand man, Peter, is very knowledgable/resourceful. Thanks to them, we were able to see many of the top sights in Rio, see a Samba show, hit a night club, take a cooking class and visit a charming colonial town outside of the city. I highly recommend this rental.

This was our first time in Brazil and we had a great time. This rental is conveniently located accross the street from the beach close to restaurants, shopping and the supermarket. The owner was EXCELLENT to work with and very very responsive. Peter the property manager was also very helpful. The apartment was large and very clean. The area was very safe and we felt comfortable walking around even very late at night. If you are going to Rio, this is the place to stay!!!! Thank you Andreas and Peter for everything!

This apartment is situated in perfect location across from the beach, beside a restaurant and only 1 block away from grocery store. Everything is just perfect. The apartment is nice just like in the picture. If we come back to Rio, we would definitely stay in this apartment again. Andreas, thanks for the lovely place and Peter, thanks for all your help for explaining to us all about Rio de Janeiro.

My family had a wonderful time in the apartment for over two weeks. My wife and I live in another part of Rio de Janeiro but when we had three family members visiting from the United States, we all decided that it would be nice to rent a place near the ocean. And it was fantastic! The place is spacious and sunny and has a great view of the ocean (not to mention the sound of the crashing waves). There was a ton of space to relax even with 5 people. We really appreciated that it was set back from the main road and the bedrooms are on the interior of the building, so there is almost no traffic noise when sleeping. There are a lot of little things in this place that make it stand out, such as the washer/dryer, the water filter, the hot tub, and the wifi and printer. And the location is fantastic! It's in Copacabana near some of the wonderful places there (for example, don't miss Bip-bip, a small samba bar just two blocks away) and just a short walk from Ipanema. This allows you to enjoy both beaches, which are quite different from each other, while also being close to all of the other attractions Rio has to offer. Both the owner and local property manager were very responsive and wonderful to work with. They had great suggestions for making the stay more enjoyable. I would have a hard time believing that this place could be beat for the price!

excellent location. walking distance ro beaches, restaurants, cabs easily accessible. near to grocery store, pharmacy Host peter was extremely helpful. kitchen could have been a bit cleaner but overall the apartment was comfortable and well looked after. Both Andreas and Peter are very well organized, all arrangements and transfers went without a hitch, we didn't have to worry about anything. We had a wonderful holiday and would love to go back for Carnival. Peter was an excellent guide and we saw a lot. Definitely would stay there again, highly recommend.

My adult son and I had a great vacation a few steps from Copacabana beach at this modern and well-equipped apartment. The location couldn't be better: Besides the beautiful beach, there are shops and restaurants right near the apartment and it's even possible to walk to Ipanema. The owner is caring and generous, and gave us helpful advice before and during our visit. He even went to the trouble of retrieving and returning a flash drive I managed to leave in one of the apartment's safes. The rates are quite reasonable too for such a luxurious and spacious apartment. I wouldn't hesitate to return on the next trip. Just a terrific experience all around!

We had a lovely time in Rio, thanks Andreas for letting us use your very nice apartment and thanks Peter for all your recommendations. We were 5 and were all comfortable at all times. Breakfast was easy with the well equipped kitchen and food from the farmers market on Sunday or the supermarket around the corner. We had lunch or dinner at the beach or a restaurant, but made sure to have the pastelillos downstairs at the small restaurant at least once a day! It was winter, but only in the calendar. The weather was ideal, and the cariocas always happy and welcoming.

Thank you Andreas for letting us stay at your flat, we really enjoyed the location and found your property very comfortable. It was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. We really appreciated the prompt and thorough communications with yourself and Peter. Thank you also for charging such a reasonable price, it made it possible for my family and me to visit Rio. We hope that we can make your apartment our base when we next visit Rio. Muito obrigada!

We spent a week at this apartment with another couple. The location was convenient except the closest Metro was closed due to construction. Copacabana beach is right across the street. Stores close by but problems with the closest ATM didn't work so beware. The apt. was well stocked, comfortable and clean. Peter was great. He arranged all the transportation arrangements for us. Gave us a full day tour that was wonderful. Great personality and very informative. When we needed a hair dryer he took us to the store and picked one up to leave at the apt. The owner was very nice to work with and give us information. I highly recommend this apt. Having travel quite a bit my husband and I like staying in apts. whenever possible instead of hotels.

As already mentioned by others, this is an amazing apartment, an amazing location, and of course an amazing city. Cuidad Maravillosa, indeed. Everything was as indicated in the ad and even better. Andreas was responsive to my emails prior to our trip. Peter arranged transfer from the airport and back. He was also waiting in the apartment to welcome us and tell us all about the city. We felt very comfortable, very safe, and we enjoyed every second. Thanks Andreas and Peter for everything.

The discription and the photos of the apartment did accurately reflect the apperance and amenities.The apartment was great and had everything we needed. The location was fantastic and we felt right at home. The beach is just accross the street and there are many restaurants and stores in walking distance. Peter, the apartment manager took very good care of us, although we didn't need him that much because we already knew the area, he stayed there and showed us how everything in the apartment worked and where everything is located. Peter also gave us lots of great suggestions on where to go and what to do. This apartment well exceeded our expectations and I will be returning to this location on my next trip to RIO.

This apartment is perfectly located on Copocabana beach and has all needed articles for a comfortable, easy-going stay. Andreas and Peter were wonderfully helpful and provided top rate service. They thought of everything from maps to local neighborhood information and even a cell phone and printer available for use with the apartment. Peter's services to assist with transportation and as a Rio tour guide would be very helpful for those who don't speak Portuguese or are new to Rio. The apartment was very child safe and friendly, even with some beach/sand toys available. The kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of extra linens, pillows, and towels. The wireless internt was fast and TV channels extensive, including many English options. Overall we were absolutely delighted with our stay, and if we are back in Rio we know where we will be staying. For anyone, but especially for a foreigner travelling to Rio, I cannot imagine a better apartment or landlord offering not only a great apartment but wonderful services as well.
