Residencial Sausalito offers holiday apartments on Rua Ministro Viveiros de Castro, in Copacabana, in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, just steps from the seafront and Cardeal Arcoverde metro station. Its strong suit is the location: Copacabana Beach is around 250 metres away and the neighbourhood earned a location score of 9.2, one of the highest in the city.
It's a practical, spacious choice for couples, families and small groups who want to stay right in the heart of Copacabana. The units are generous, from 26 to 30 m², all with air-conditioning, a Smart LED TV with cable channels, an en-suite bathroom and marble flooring; some also have a mini-bar. Bed linen and towels are included.
The front desk is open 24 hours and Wi-Fi is free in the rooms. Buffet breakfast, an outdoor pool and a restaurant are provided by the Real Palace Hotel next door, where check-in also takes place (Rua Duvivier, 70). Payment at the property is by cash only.
Residencial Sausalito offers spacious apartments, from 26 to 30 m², designed for a range of trips: from options for couples to family units sleeping up to five people. All come with air-conditioning, a Smart LED TV with cable channels, an en-suite bathroom and marble flooring, plus bed linen and towels included.
The differences lie in the bed configuration and a few extras. There are more compact units for two, family apartments with single and double beds, and the Deluxe Family Suite, the largest of the house. Some units also feature a mini-bar and touches such as a sauna, and several enjoy a pool view. Whatever you choose, you'll be just steps from Copacabana Beach and the metro.
Residencial Sausalito brings together the essentials for a comfortable stay in the heart of Copacabana.

The units are air-conditioned, with a Smart LED TV, an en-suite bathroom and marble flooring, and bed linen and towels are included.
A standout of the property is the access, through the neighbouring Real Palace Hotel, to buffet breakfast, an outdoor pool and a restaurant — amenities that are uncommon in residences of this size. Some units also feature a mini-bar and sauna, and several offer a pool view. There's also valet service, laundry, ironing and children's meals for an extra charge. A lift, security cameras and a safe round out the setup, reinforcing the property's practical, well-located profile for exploring Rio de Janeiro.
Residencial Sausalito sits on Rua Ministro Viveiros de Castro, a quiet street between Avenida Princesa Isabel and Rua Rodolfo Dantas, in the part of Copacabana closest to Leme, in Rio de Janeiro's South Zone. The location is the property's biggest draw, with a score of 9.2: Copacabana's sands are around 250 metres away and Cardeal Arcoverde metro station about 350 metres off, letting you cross the city without a car.
On foot, you'll easily reach the Copacabana promenade, Leme Beach and Morro do Leme, along with bakeries, supermarkets, pharmacies, bars and neighbourhood restaurants. From Cardeal Arcoverde station, the metro links Copacabana to Ipanema, the city centre and the Maracanã. Landmarks such as Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer and the Copacabana Fort are a few kilometres away, reachable by metro, bus or ride-hailing app.
The best time to visit Rio is from April to May and September to October, with milder weather, less humidity and beaches that are still inviting; summer (December to March) is hot and busy, especially at New Year's Eve and Carnival. As in any big city, it's wise to stick to main, well-lit streets, avoid flashing valuables on the beach and prefer a taxi or app at night. Santos Dumont Airport is about 9 km away and Galeão roughly 19 km.
