A nice place and space from which to explore

David was an amazing communicator both before and during our visit, responding promptly and thoroughly to a lot of questions—thank you David! And overall, our group really enjoyed staying at David’s property. As for the space, the patio was amazing and the rooms were nicely sized. I think the crew who stayed on the first floor were really comfortable. As for the room on the second floor, it can only be accessed via a very narrow metal spiral staircase (which I may have missed in the description) which was not perfect, especially when we were in a lightening storm and I was not comfortable traversing it. Also, the A/C on the second floor could not really keep up with the heat, and it was super hot, so that was a liyyle uncomfortable. The fan wasn’t working when we got in, but David sent someone almost immediately, and that was helpful. The first floor space with the long bar and room to lounge was lovely and worked well for our group. The building seemed like a standard Rio building and the neighbors we encountered were all very nice. The location of the space made it very easy to get to all the different places we wanted to go. We did a small bit of walking in the early evening and that felt alright, but mostly we took ubers. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable walking in a smaller group in our neighborhood, or really any, late at night, but that seems to be how it works in Rio. One highlight from our trip was when David hooked us up with his friend Adrianno to take us to a football game. We wouldn’t have had any clue how to find our way there or get tix or anything, and Adrianno made it all happen. That was an amazing experience.

Amazing villa in can't-beat location!

Place was terrific, just as advertised. Beautiful villa with double balcony and 2 nicely appointed bathrooms. Air conditioning in every room. Lots of space - the rooms are large. And Adriano the manager took care of any issues that arose. We were also in a prime location, just 2 blocks from the beach, on a main street. 24/7 doorman/security, so safety was not an issue. Great place overall. Highly recommend!

Lovely penthouse duplex-great views and location

Lovely penthouse duplex with great views of Rio and a two block walk to Copa Cabana beach. Nice layout with all the little touches-all three bedrooms had very comfy beds and excellent showers! The kitchen was stocked with everything that you'd need for a great cocktail hour and/or dining on the terrace. Maid service was offered every day during the week, which is a plus for a rental property. The owner and property manager was there for us 24-7. Any questions or requests were immediately responded to!! We were a family of 6 and it was wonderful having everyone under one roof. We had breakfast together before starting the day, had great cocktail hours both on the terrace and indoors listening to great basa nova music and we had a samba lesson on the terrace one evening which was lots of fun! The only negative is that the building is a bit run down, yet the owner did a fabulous job creating a penthouse duplex that felt like Brazilian heaven the moment you put the key in the door!

Great Property in an amazing location

We were a group of 6 visiting Rio for the first time. We found this penthouse on VRBO and the pictures that represented did not disappoint. It is on the 11th floor looking out on the city (there is no clear view to the beach, but you are able to see mountains and the expanse of the Copacabana district). You can hear the hustle and bustle of the city below, yet have a quite, intimate feeling above. All your immediate needs are withing 2 blocks (grocery stores, banks, restaurants, etc). You are only a 5 min walk to the beach. The neighborhood is very safe as well. The penthouse was very clean and inviting. As a foreigner who had never been to Brazil, the penthouse was exactly what I had hoped it would be with the amenities and space for 6. The rooms are spacious and clean. There isn't a washer and dryer in the penthouse, but you can get/use the property washer and dryer. The internet connection was very good as well-to stay connected to all your worldly cares you are supposed to leave behind. Max, the property manager, is top notch and is more than helpful during the entire process. I had many questions prior to our arrival and he answered them promptly and professionally. While we were down there, we had several inquisitions about local excursions. Max sat with us and made the phone calls to try to get us the times and logistics most favorable for us. If, and when, we return to Rio, we will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by David Parker

I work in the magazine & film business in New York City & Los Angeles. I discovered Brazil in 2000 and began traveling often to get to know the country and people better. With lots of flexibility in my work, I spend more than three months a year in Brazil. I bought this extraordinary duplex penthouse ten years ago. It's a bit of paradise, just two blocks from the beach.

I have just finished buying and renovating a 4-bedroom luxury penthouse next door. It can be rented separately or together for a total of 7 bedrooms.

Why they chose this property

I bought this apartment because it was right in the middle of my favorite location, Copacabana. Copacabana is the original beach city of Rio. And has all the charm and life of a vital city. It's also so much more convenient to reach the downtown or other locations such as Ipanema.
