About this property

Panoramic Ocean View Apartment. Spacious & Centrally Located. Great Reviews!

Ocean front with unencumbered view of the entire Copacabana and Leme Beaches. Spacious 147 square meters (1580 square feet) apartment with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Beautiful sunrises and cool ocean breezes. The ocean is in front of you with restaurants, outdoor life and the famous Rio beach culture at your feet. Convenient to transportation and shopping.

You are in the epicenter of the Leme/Copacabana neighborhood. Everything that happens in Rio happens outside our window: parades, marches, half marathons, cycling tours, you name it we see it. We saw the The FIFA Fan Fest, Rolling Stones concert, Pope Francis, Lenny Kravitz, and the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks from our window.

There are two elevators accessing the apartment: the front social elevator (recently updated) which services only one apartment per floor and the rear service elevator (servicing 3 apartments) with entry through the kitchen.

The house features new sofas, art work, persian carpets in the living room, and antique furniture. There is an ultra comfortable hammock in the living room which is perfect for an afternoon nap. Ceiling fans and high wall split air conditioning in all bedrooms and the living room. The twin beds in two bedrooms can be combined to be queen sized beds and there is a full sized bed in the third bedroom. All beds have a 3 inch topper for added comfort. The bedrooms are have black out curtains, TV's, Google Chromecast for streaming audio and video. The living room has Apple TV with a Bose sound system.
We have a 120MB internet router with Google Mesh WIFI for apartment wide internet access. In case of any internet outage, we have a Skyroam portable with which also can be used by guests outside of the apartment (for daily fee).

The kitchen comes equipped with refrigerator, cook top/oven, washer and dryer, microwave, mixer, toaster, coffee maker, Nexpresso machine, blender, sandwich press, dicer among many other devices and utensils. We have practically all you need for cooking.

There is a 24 hour 7 day a week doorman for the building with video surveillance in all common areas.


The apartment is on border between the Leme and Copacabana neighborhoods. This area is great. This area is very safe and much more peaceful than the rest of Copacabana. There are some outstanding restaurants in the area and some night life as well. You can rent bikes across the street, rent a paddle board at the other end of the beach, or go for an ocean swim.

From Galeão International Airport, it is a 40 minute to 1 hour cab/Uber ride depending upon route, traffic, time of day and year (note that after 9PM, all day Sunday, Holidays and the month of December taxis are 20% higher. The higher rate is indicated by flag "2").

From the Santos Dumont Aiport (domestic) it is 35 reais taxi ride (15 minutes).

From the bus station it is about a 50 reais cab ride. You can take Uber, but the meeting place is near the gas station outside of the terminal.

From either of the airports or bus station, you have the option of taking a luxury bus (frescão in portuguese). The cost is about 15 reais. You need to take the bus which goes to Copacabana. You would get off at the Hilton Hotel on the corner of Avenida Atlantica and Princesa Isabel. Note on Sundays and holidays this bus stops on Barata Ribeiro which is a 10 minute walk to the apartment.

Wonderful stay at Copacabana
This apartment is at an excellent location, with a great supermarket one block away, and lots of restaurants within walking distance. We were able to communicate very well with the host before and during our stay. It has a beautiful view to the beach. You just have to cross the street to have a swim. The apt is spacious and well decorated. The Wi-Fi and cable tv are excellent beautiful. The beds are comfortable and the shower is wonderful. The place was very clean and we were received with a basket of fruit and cookies. I definetely recommend it . Thank you Charlotte and John for all the help.

Perfect place in Leme/Copacabana
Apartment exceeded my expectation. Beautiful views, nicely furnished, and wonderful location. John was an awesome host informative, friendly and accessible. He helped arrange transportation. We arrived later then anticipated due to multiple flight delay. John met us at the apartment and helped us settle. The apartment was wonderful and made our trip to Rio a great vacation for our family of 7. We cannot thank job enough.

Copacabana beach front condo
“John’s apartment has a fantastic view of the entire Copacabana beach and it is an easy walk across the street. It is actually on the border of the neighborhood Leme, which is quieter and calmer stretch of the Copacabana beach. There were excellent restaurants nearby and really convenient to the market, and other local businesses. Major attractions were all a short distance away. John has an excellent guide with a lot of good tips and hints on where to eat and go. His friendly and knowledgeable assistant Charlotte met us at the apartment and gave us a quick tour of the apartment and the local area. Both of them were excellent hosts and always available when we had questions. We got there late in the evening and they had thoughtfully left fruits and cold cuts for a morning breakfast. The apartment was nice, clean, and very neatly decorated. It was exactly like the photos. We cannot say enough about the apartment and highly recommend it!”

Rio Trip
What an awesome experience. My expectations were exceeded and John, the host, set a high benchmark. All I wanted to experience in Rio was right outside John's doorstep. Morning walks on white sand beaches made all the difference for me. The beachside was scattered with restaurants, kiosks, and the rhythms of Rio. John created an amazing guide which covered his favorite local restaurants and activities that only a local would know. I look forward to coming back. If you ever wanted to experience Rio, John's place is clean, has updated amenities, and was our home away from home. Stan

Rio/Leme Vacation
What a wonderful vacation experience!!! This apartment was awesome! Speculator ocean views from several rooms. The apartment was clean and spacious perfect for our family. Very safe location directly across from Copacabana beach. Very centrally located. Excellent restaurants choices steps from the front door. Definitely worth the price!!! Owner was very responsive, responding to emails and questions and was easy to communication with. He provided many site-seeing, travel, restaurant suggestions/recommendations and really help us to schedule and organize the trip as well as a provided a owners guide book in the apartment that we could refer to. First time using vbro.. Have always used hotels but after this experience I will look to vbro.

About the host

Hosted by John Sunao Ii

Host profile image
I live between Rio de Janeiro and the San Francisco bay area in California. I am a public radio DJ with a Brazilian music radio program for the last 30 years. I am also a story teller and have a knack for making people laugh.

I love the outdoors and especially cycling up to the Christ statue or in the hills above Silicon Valley. I am very familiar with the musical scene of Rio and can be your guide or give you the information you need.

I am a native English speaker and speak fluent Portuguese and passable Japanese. I also can make myself understood in Spanish.

My philosophy as a host: My parents were very successful small business owners with a carnation farm and later a flower shop. They had their business listed in the best of Silicon Valley and even had local TV coverage. Out of hundreds of similar businesses, they were able to differentiate themselves on how they treated and interacted with their customers. They worked hard to give that little extra that made people want to come back. My goal as a host is to treat as you my parents would have. Let me show my definition of hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Location Location Location. We chose it because it was a building on a corner with an entrance onto a small square. It is in a very safe area where you can feel at ease (my guests frequently mention this in their reviews). It is easy to to get to any part of Rio de Janeiro. Convenient to the metro, public buses, and taxis. Beach in front of you, downtown 15 minutes by taxi, Ipanema is around 5 minutes by taxi. And then, there is the VIEW!

What makes this property unique

So many memorable events just outside our window. When Pope Francis came to Rio de Janeiro, he made his public appearance right in front of our apartment. We were literally the closest people to him. When athletes run the half marathon, we could see the finish line and runners sprinting towards it. We have seen movies, telenovelas and music videos filmed nearby. During the Olympics and World Cup worldwide television networks broadcasted within sight of our apartment. We are that centrally located.
