Very great location. 3 minute walk to the beach in one direction, 4 minute walk to the beach in another direction, pharmacy/small store next door, pub on the corner. Very nice and spacious apartment. Plenty of Air Conditioning, very well equipped kitchen, huge master bedroom with huuuuge walk-in shower, tons of closet space, has a washer/dryer combo, two irons, It's a very nice place. If you are a fan of soft towels, you may want to bring some. I've noticed on my trips to Brazil that the towels aren't as soft as I usually have here in the states, but there are plenty of towels available. Overall, it was a very nice stay, easy to contact the owner. The kids upstairs are a bit loud, but it's expected in an apartment. I am not bothered by neighbors, so it wasn't an issue for me. At night, it's very quiet at bedtime, so there is nothing to me worry about.
