Very simple apartment in a great location. We were very luck to get a great parking spot on the street right in front of the apartment, but there is also a secure parking garage around the corner. The view out the window was beautiful and it is in a perfect location to do all the touristy activities and be in the center of the action on the beach. The surrounding area felt very save and we had no problems. It's noisy at night for sure, but that is the trade off for being right on Copacabana beach. It was so nice to have the breakfast at the hotel and we even booked a tour through the hotel that was amazing!
