This place is a bargain for how beautiful it is, the location, and the fantastic views from the balcony, living room, kitchen and bedroom. I speak okay Portuguese, but unusual for this type of building the front desk spoke pretty good English and were very friendly and helpful. The apartment is very well equipped. You can do a round of laundry for 50 Reais, which is very convenient (or have them launder your clothes for you and charged by item). The location is fantastic and a in a relatively safe area. The place was incredibly clean and modern with lots of extra linens. It’s also extremely large for the location. Definitely recommend this place. Since it faces the ocean and the other side is smaller buildings, it’s also very quiet.
