The apartment was just perfect. Had everything you needed. Tv had some English channels too. Open balcony with views to Copacabana beach and Christ the Redeemer. 24 hr security. Social and sevice lifts. The later to be used of coming back from the beach if your wet and full of sand. Superb location. We stayed 10 days over Carnival and our hosts changed our bedding and towels half way through which was great. Supermarkets, snack bars, restaurants are close by. Subway less than 5 min walk and grwat for getting round town. Recommended.
