Great communication and a lovely view, could look at it all day. Safe entrance with a guard opening gate for you. The apartment is great, but the beds are small doubles, in case you are tall and want big double/ standard bed. Could do with an update on decor. The towels were small. If you have a car, you can park on the front for R$2 for 2 hours 7-7 pm there are people with blue parking t shirt and green writing on them and they should give you a ticket they write on. After 7 pm they are just chancers trying get money, as its free. You can just pay on a morning when you get up, doesn't have to be at 7am. There is a market on the front 5 min walk down the promenade to the left. Some good cheap items.
