41 Reviews of Property 376938 Copacabana, Brazil

This was the best place for a large group of people. What we really loved about it was having the living spaces inside and out for us to be together or apart as the mood and activities of our group eventuated. We all felt this was valuable to the success of our group and our bonding, plus it gave us spaces where we could be alone if we chose to.

Having 2x kitchen facilities was also great as well as all the bathroom facilities and some bedrooms with en-suites. The decor is so welcoming and attractive with many decorating details added to create the ambiance of the accommodation . We just loved this and felt we were in a special place.

The property is clean and well maintained, and the descriptions given are accurate for the amenities provided The property is central, very easy to access and we would recommend the Penthouses to any group of people we know traveling to Rio.

Thank you David

Our family of 6 adults rented the entire penthouse for 5 days and loved staying here. The location is ideal if you want to be near the beaches yet convenient to metro and restaurants.

The penthouse is beautifully decorated with everything you need. The owner provided a great driver/tour guide who spoke English and was very helpful. The cleaning service was every other day and very nice. The manager gave my adult sons information on all the clubs and night life. We enjoyed having our coffee and drinks out on the terraces which had partial views of the mountains and the beach.

The penthouse is on the 11th floor, elevators going to the 10th so its a short walk up. Good security. Wi-fi and cable TV. It feels like staying in your own home, the problem is you never want to leave!

We will always stay here when visiting Rio. David, the owner provided plenty of information before we arrived so we knew where things were and what we wanted to do. Thank you David for making the experience so pleasurable!

The owner was super helpful and accommodating getting our large group in and
allowing for split payments before we arrived. The penthouse was well furnished,
clean and had a great balcony and view! Only a few blocks walking distance to
Copacabana Beach, and a delicious 24 hour snack shop right across the street!

Left on 08/03/2012 for a stay in July 2012

There is absolutely nothing but positive to say about this Penthouse; it's located at a perfect spot close to all facilities in the middle of Copacabana. We stayed, 17 persons, for one week in July 2012, and felt like we were at a luxury hotel during this period! There shouldn't be need of saying much more than this... A perfect place to spend your time if you are to travel with a large group to Rio de Janeiro!

Fabulous apt, fabulous service, what more can be said!? We booked directly with David - very last minute due to problems with other accommodation which he took in his stride, welcomed us personally quite late at night and ensured we were settled in for the night. He assisted us with every activity, had great recommendations for nights out and meals making sure we had a great time in Rio. The apt is beautiful and the location is great. Close to metro, buses, restaurants and the beach! Highly recommended. Thanks again David.

Awesome penthouse flat, cracking views of Rio.

7 of us stayed and flat is very spacious, very clean. Great hospitality by the owner and assistants which were super friendly.

Very close proximity to Copacabana beach. Close transport links to metro and bus to move around the city.

1st experience of staying in an apartment, and has made me reconsider about staying in hotels after this experience. Would 100% return to the same flat!!!

Thank you David and your team for helping us make our trip to Rio the best it could ever have been. When booking direct with an owner and not through a travel agent, there is always that slight concern that it is not going to work out (!) but from the get go David banished that concern and made the lead up to our trip super easy and answered any questions we had be them necessary or daft!

As a group of 7, we were finding it hard to find somewhere suitable to stay to meet everyone's requirements, but Davids apartment came up trumps in terms of; Location - a couple of minutes walk to Copacabana beach with restaurants, supermarkets, banks, shops and the metro all in the surrounding area.
Space - 4 guys and 3 girls, and we never once felt cramped in the five nights we stayed, having only taken one half of the penthouse.

The maid service was excellent and we were always so surprised to come back to a very clean and tidy apartment.

Thank you to Marcos who was excellent to deal with in picking us up and dropping us all off at the airport, as well as making restaurant bookings and organizing for us to go to a football match (which is a Must!) Incredibly helpful to have someone in the know and who also speaks English!

We could not fault our stay one bit, which as a group who have individually traveled around the world, is surprising!

I would most definitely recommend the penthouse to family and friends and we all hope to return again very soon!

A group of friends planned this trip to Rio for my birthday weekend. It ended up being one couple and 5 single friends. I couldn't have been more pleased with all aspects of the trip. From the start, when we chose David's penthouse to stay at, David was helpful, attentive and everything went smoothly. When we arrived, we couldn't have been happier. The apartment is exactly as described in the listening. It ended up being perfect for our group. David had set up one room for a couple and the two additional bedrooms had single beds in them (he had asked ahead of time what our preference was). Additionally, the beautifully decorated library was set up with a bed. The decor was tasteful and the apartment was impeccably clean. David thought of little details such as napkins and garbage bags in the kitchen and a reusable coffee filter in the coffee pot! Plentiful linens were provided. These are little details that make things so much nicer. Each day we went to get items for our breakfast at the local markets - there are two on the same block. The beach is an easy 5 minute walk away. I had never stayed in Copacabana and was very happy with the location. There is a great juice bar - one of the delights of Rio - right on the corner where you can get almost any fresh juice you can imagine!

If you are considering Rio, I would highly recommend David's apartment. And, I seriously suggest considering Rio. I've been a half a dozen times now and it never lets me down. From the nightlife of Leblon and Lapa, to the beautiful beaches that are a delight to all the senses, to the amazing sight of Christ the Redeemer perched high on the hill overlooking the city, Rio has something for everyone. The already wonderful trip was made that much better to have a place like David's to come "home" to each night. Thanks. I can guarantee I will recommend it to all my friends.
