Why during my arrival when I’m outside e joying the beach and I have many people up meet.After two days she starts again calling me saying they need to do repairs ...

Staff was great and very helpful,, we were on floor 12 and elevator was off for 2 day prior our check out, we needed to used another elevator on the 10th floor when we left with the luggage. Kitchen is toooo small. Great location

Ocean View Copacabana Best Spot
I really loved the place, however I would suggest the host to supply cleaning products to stays that are longer than 4 days. Detergent, flooring product and perhaps an extra set of sheets and towels.
