The apartment is a very good size, with decent bedrooms and a large terrace - but it does feel a little unloved and in the need of updating, in particular the kitchen and bathroom. The location is good, it is very convenient for Copacabana Beach and the Metro station.

Cooking equipment is very basic, but if you do not intend to cook that's not a problem - we were there a week, so wanted to eat in a couple of nights, and preparing simple meals was a challenge.
