The apartment is in a very well maintained and restored elegant old building with sweeping marble staircases, courteous doormen, and other lovely touches from a forgotten era. The apartment itself is even better than it looks on the photos. It looks onto the back of another building, but doesn't feel hemmed in, with the help of some well-designed shutters. It is also very quiet for a Copacabana apartment. There is a small pool with a view of the ocean on the roof, plus a small gym, tv lounge, kitchen and dining area. In the surrounding blocks there are nice restaurants that spill out onto the pavement towards evening. Just outside your doorstep. A short block from the beach. Highly recommended.
