We had a wonderful stay at this apartment that is managed by Paoloa & Isak. Our group of 6 arrived for the Fifa 2014 WC and we were concerned with space and sleeping conditions. The apartment has 3 separate bedrooms, one master bedroom has a private bathroom and the other 2 rooms have separate beds (one with 2 single beds and the other with a pullout sofa). There is also a pullout sofa in the living room. So the 6 of us slept well without any discomfort or lack of space. Of course it would help if a single or double bed would be placed in the 3rd bedroom which also has a hammock! The view of this apartment is spectacular, located at the corner of Rua Suza Lima and Avenida Atlantica, you really cannot ask for a better location than that. It is across from Copacabana beach, although the entrance of the apartment is on a cross street (Suza Lima), the apartment itself is across the ocean and since it is a corner unti, it has a view over the ocean and also the side street. There is a 24 hr. receptionist who opens the door and this is very important for security issues and also safety. The apartment has 2 sets of elevators, one for formal use and one for informal use (in case you walk in with sandy sandals or wet outfits from the beach across). We found that the apartment had pretty much everything that we needed. The kitchen area was the most important component for a group of 6 hungry men! There are enough pans and pots and silverware and dishes to prep food and feed at least 6 people. One thing that I suggest is a bigger garbage can since the little garbage can did have to be empties out on numerous occasions thus increasing hygiene problems to spread. Both showers were great, there is ample hot water and the water pressure is very good. The water hose by the toilet is very important and essential for hygiene issues. We did use the washer and it worked great. There is no dryer in the property as North Americans are accustomed to however there is a hanging rack which can be pulled up and down from the ceiling allowing wet laundry to be hung and dried at room temperature. It is efficient and saves a lot of electricity for the environment. All windows open up to let fresh air in and with the view that this apartment has, open windows, and especially at nights are a delight. We did not have any problems with mosquitos as we do in North America. Copa Cabana Avenue which is adjacent to Suza Lima and parallel to Avenida Atlantica is your hub for shopping. You will find everything you need there from groceries to clothing and apparel, fancy boutiques, fruit and many pharmacies (called Drogaria). There are 2 chain grocery stores that I recommend you use: 1. Zona Sul...
